DNA Testing
Prices
Some companies advertise rock-bottom DNA testing
prices, which can seem very attractive at first.
However, often times, you will find that
additional fees will accrue for reporting of
results, shipping, consultation with a
representative, etc. You want to make sure that
the total fee you are quoted includes testing of
all individuals involved, collection of their
samples, reporting of the results and consultation
with an educated consultant, if needed. |

Markers in a DNA Test
In a DNA test, the number of markers tested will
determine the accuracy of the test. A minimum of
15 markers tested is a good standard for a
relationship test, and can provide an accuracy to
99.9999%. Question providers of tests where 10 or
fewer markers are tested. |

AABB Accreditation
AABB accreditation is a very prestigious honor and
only those relationship testing laboratories which
uphold the strict quality standards enforced by
the AABB and undergo routine audits shall receive
it. Un-accredited labs do not have to abide by any
standards and, therefore, may not offer the best
service and most accurate tests. Of the hundreds
of laboratories advertising DNA testing services
worldwide, only 41 are currently AABB accredited. |
