Health Research Systems, Inc,
is a licensed distributor of paternity testing services
in the Huntington and Charleston area.
DNA testing is the most accurate method of establishing
paternity. Whether the test is for your own knowledge
that is held strictly in confidence by our lab or
whether it is needed for legal or court purposes, our
clients are assured of state of the art testing as well
as licensed professional services. Sample collection is
painless and easily obtained using a buccal swab (mouth
swab).
All types of samples can be analyzed though, as long as
there is cellular material in the sample. Other types of
samples can include tubes of blood, blood on a blood
spot card, or even forensic type samples such as
cigarette butts, toothbrushes, or envelopes sealed with
saliva. These latter types of forensic samples give
clients having deceased individuals involved in their
case the ability to obtain a paternity determination
even though the individual is not available for testing.
Additionally, prenatal DNA testing can be performed on
the unborn child using samples collected by a physician
using techniques such as amniocentesis or CVS. Since DNA
is the same in every cell in a person's body, all sample
types give the same results with equal accuracy. Basic
paternity determinations are 99.9% inclusive of the
father and 100% accurate in excluding a person that is
not the father of the child.
Most people choose a legally binding test, in case the
results are needed in court. The basic paternity test
requires samples from the mother, alleged father, and
the child. If the mother is not available, testing can
still be performed using more extensive procedures.
Location of individuals needing to be sampled is never
an issue as samples can be collected at any location and
sent to the lab for analysis. At the time of sampling,
the swabs are sealed to maintain chain of custody
allowing for court use of the results of the paternity
test.
In addition to standard paternity testing, Health
Research Systems, Inc. also offers a wide variety of
other DNA based testing services. Other tests include
forensic testing, derived familial typing, immigration
matters, all types of human and animal identification
applications, multi species paternity and forensics,
multi species trait testing and genetic disease
diagnostics, and multi-species mitochondrial DNA testing.
