Cheap DNA tests must also be reliable

The result of a paternity test may be the foundation of important personal decisions. Therefore, for us an accurate test result is not a question of money but a question of quality. You must feel absolutely secure with your decision of lab.

How to find an affordable and also reliable DNA lab

Of course, always compare the price of a test but also compare the lab's expertise and accreditations. A too cheap lab may tempt you at first glance. However, uncertainty remains. A DNA test result which may not be reliable may lead to an enormous strain on the family relations.

Hence we have compiled a list of criteria which may help you decide. Your DNA lab should:

• have a high throughput of DNA samples
  Only then the scientists who examine the results will be experienced enough to draw the correct conclusions
• be ISO 17025 accredited for forensic genetics
• be in Germany
  If you chose a DNA testing partner with a laboratory outside Germany your samples will need to be shipped, sometimes even to the US. The more people handle your samples the higher the risk of a mix-up.
• prove a long-term and successfully participation at the important GEDNAP ring trials
  Through these ring trials external experts controll the expertise of the scientists and the outcome of their analyses.
• use highly automated processes and modern technology
  Only this can guarantee that DNA testing can be performed at low cost but still be accurate.
