The World's Premier Home Paternity Testing Service

Continuing with our theme of strong DNA testing company characteristics, this week we are focusing on fast turnaround times.

Receiving your results in a timely manner is important. You need to know the answers as soon as you can.

For a regular paternity test, the standard turnaround time is 5 days from the time the samples reach the laboratory. Some companies, however, advertise shorter turnaround times at cheaper prices.

To choose the best company for your needs, you should make sure that the company’s commitment to accurate and reliable DNA testing outweighs its devotion to fast turnaround times and cheaper prices. If a laboratory hurries through a DNA test, they may miss genetic mutations (which occur in approximately 2% of cases) or other variations that may affect the results of the test and could even lead to a false exclusion. This can be particularly true for companies that have much cheaper DNA testing services, as they may not be able to afford instruments that process samples quickly or expert staffs required for high quality DNA testing.

Other companies may fail to inform you that the turnaround time starts from the time that the laboratory receives the samples. If the company is not located with the laboratory, such as some online outlets, the turnaround time could be delayed by several days while the samples are being transferred from the company to the laboratory.

Beta offers paternity test results in a standard 5 days. We also provide expedited services of 3 days for paternity case results that are needed quickly.

We guarantee accurate results because we run every sample twice, which ensures that you receive reliable results. We use state-of-the-art equipment such as the Biomek® FX robotics systems and ABI PRISM® 3100, in addition to employing highly experienced DNA experts, to perform our tests.

We also guarantee our turnaround time because we work directly with our laboratory in the same complex, so there is no delay to transfer the samples to the laboratory.

You can trust the results from a Beta DNA test to be timely, reliable, and accurate.

Next week, we will be concluding our discussion of characteristics of strong companies by talking more about affordability and pricing of DNA test services.
