We Test All DNA Samples Twice

Beta Paternity performs every DNA test twice to ensure accurate, reliable results.

When the DNA samples for a test arrive at our laboratory, they are carefully divided into two groups, which are analyzed separately by two independent teams. The two teams of expert DNA analysts both perform the DNA testing from start to finish. Once the results are ready, the teams compare them to make sure they match.

By running every DNA test twice like this, we help ensure that our test results are accurate and trustworthy. When the two teams compare their results, they will discover any discrepancies that may exist between the data. In the rare case a discrepancy does exist, the teams will review each aspect of the testing and perform any necessary corrective measures, including retesting when needed.

In addition, running every test twice doubly confirms the presence of shared DNA markers between the tested child and alleged father. (Two sets of test data are better than one!) Further, the AABB recommends that paternity testing laboratories repeat all tests with exclusion results to ensure the correctness of the results (i.e., the tested man is not the biological father of the child). By always performing every paternity test twice, we can immediately confirm any exclusion results our tests produce.

It is important that you trust your DNA testing to a laboratory that will take your test results as seriously as you do and make sure they are right. Independently testing all DNA samples twice is just one way that Beta Paternity ensures reliable results.
