How much do the Maternity Tests cost?
Peace of Mind Testing
The cost of a Peace of Mind test depends upon the number of children. In the case of a Maternity case with one child we need to test the Mother or Father (or both) and the Child which gives us up to three participants.

More information about maternity testing
What relationship does maternity testing prove?
Maternity testing allows you to determine whether or not a woman is the biological mother of the child or children in question by comparing the DNA of the possible mother and the child(ren). If a woman share certain DNA sequences with a child, then there is a 99.99% chance the woman is the biological mother of that child. If a woman does not share those DNA sequences with a child then she is not the biological mother.
Who needs to be tested?
- Possible mother
- Child
How reliable are the results?
The results will either show:
- The woman tested IS NOT to be the biological mother of the child, OR
- The woman tested IS more than 99.99% certain to be the biological mother of the child*
*Please note that relationship testing can never say that a women is 100% the biological mother of a child because of the amount of genes that are shared within the population. If a close female relative to the woman tested (i.e. her mother, sister or daughter) is a possible mother of the child then she must also be tested in order to eliminate her from maternity.
