Fast, Easy & Painless
Fast, Easy & Painless
If a court admissible test is required, collecting a DNA samples for analysis is painless, easy and can be performed at a collection site, or just at home if the results will be used privately.
Taking samples yourself is simple. All you will need is a sterile Q-tip. Rub the swab gently on the inside of your cheek for 30 seconds, place the swab in an envelope and send it to the lab. Once the lab receives the sample, they will evaluate it and provide results in approximately two to three business days.
If you want results faster, express options are available.
Highly Accurate
Highly Accurate
Across the DNA testing industry, paternity tests are usually performed on samples with between 4 and 43 markers.
Our tests provide greater than 99.999% accuracy and use 16 genetic markers. In some cases, a more complex test is required and in that instance we can provide a 21 marker test that is more accurate.

When you need to know for sure if two people are related and it’s not possible to obtain a mouth swab sample, we can help. As long as everyone being tested gives their consent, our state-of-the -art testing techniques can take samples from common things found around the home. A razor, a licked envelope, a piece of chewing gum, or hair roots from a hairbrush are just some of the options you can use to find samples of DNA.
At Rapid Screenings, we have more than seven years of experience in DNA testing and can gather samples from a large number of objects.
Simple & Private
Simple & Private
A discreet DNA test from Rapid Screenings is easy to take from the privacy of your own home. Simply collect the sample by swabbing the cheek. It is painless and discrete, and takes just a few minutes to gather.
A sample needs to be taken from both people in question. If you are unable to perform the cheek swab test, you can identify a different type of sample to be tested on the order form.
You can send samples in an envelope or a paper bag. Please ensure that all samples are completely dry before putting them into a bag, and then send the samples to DNA Lab Network. Depending on the type of sample and the complexity of the test, we will send you your results in 2-6 weeks, in some cases even sooner.
We ensure that your paternity test is accurate by independently running every test twice. Discreet DNA uses most accurate methods available, using 16 genetic markers to provide the highest level of accuracy.
