IDNA Systems, Inc.
provides DNA analysis services for Human Identification Testing. Our services are described more fully in other
sections. Please follow the appropriate links. Feel free to call us
with your questions.
IDNA Systems
offers the widest spectrum of parentage tests available including Private
Home DNA tests, Legal standard tests that meet evidentiary standards, motherless
testing, prenatal paternity testing-amniocentesis testing (must
be prearranged so a sample can be sent to us at the time of testing),
kinship/sibling/half-sibling analysis, newborn or umbilical cord testing,
grand-parentage, twins and deceased paternity testing.
DNA Paternity Tests and More
Accurate DNA testing for paternity, sibling and other relatedness
studies. We offer the best technology available at a reasonable
price. We test 16 DNA marker systems which allows for results that are
statistically very accurate.
We offer 3 ways to order tests
-
Mail-in prepaid
orders. See the Private
Paternity Order Form (Mail-in) for the sample information sheet,
authorization and indemnity form and a form for credit card payments, if you
need it.
-
Internet orders.
See the Internet
Order Form to order prepaid Private Paternity Tests. Simply
choose the appropriate set of services needed to place them in your shopping
basket, then check out. All payments will go through PayPal so any
major credit card, e-checks or PayPal account transfers can be used.
Additionally, PayPal has protections for both the buyer and seller to make
the transaction secure.
-
Telephone orders.
You may order any of our DNA tests by telephone at (888)
440-IDNA. We recommend this especially for tests other than
routine Private Paternity Tests. Some of the other tests require
special handling, witnessed sample collection (Legal tests) or determining
appropriate individuals that need to be tested. We welcome all
telephone inquiries.
Call us to discuss your particular situation so we can customize our service
for your needs. All conversations are confidential and maintaining your
privacy is as important to us as it is to you. As soon as a deposit or
payment is received, we will send the collection kits, complete instructions and
sample information/authorization/indemnity form.
We offer the following DNA tests
-
Paternity Trio- Mother, Alleged
Father and Child (most accurate > 99.999% This is more accurate for
non-exclusions than motherless tests). This is the best test
available. This is usually used for any legal (evidentiary) test
unless the mother is absolutely unavailable (for example, deceased).
-
Motherless Paternity - Alleged
Father and Child accurate for exclusion, but not for non-exclusion.
Since we test 16 markers, we can usually detect an exclusion. If the
other alleged father is related to the alleged father tested (for example, a
brother), then the Paternity Trio would be required to be able to distinguish
paternity with a high degree of reliability.
-
Maternity test - test for biological
mother. Mother and child tested exclusion 0%, inclusion >99.9%
-
Twin Zygosity (Identical Twins versus
Fraternal Twins). Comparison of DNA profiles
-
Heteropaternal Superfecundation (rare
case of fraternal twins having different fathers).
-
This is best performed as a paternity test
including both parents plus both twins
-
inclusion (non-exclusion) >99.999%,
exclusion 0%
-
Aunt/Uncle (aunt or uncle and a niece or
nephew)
-
(<20% exclusion or >80% inclusion, but
can range from 1%-99%)
-
because of the nature of the relationship
and inherent limitations of the analysis, the results can fall into the
inconclusive range >20%, but <80%. This test is usually
reliable.
-
Grand-parentage (when alleged father is
unavailable; tests mother, child and father's parents)
-
Single Grandparent DNA Analysis:
This DNA test includes ONE grandparent, 1 grandchild, and parent
optional, but strongly suggested.
-
Standard Grandparent DNA Analysis:
This
DNA test includes BOTH grandparents, 1 child, and parent
optional, but strongly suggested. For the most accurate results in a
grand-parentage analysis it is best to include both the alleged
grandparents and the child.
-
Cousins (First Cousin) (<20% exclusion
or >80% inclusion, but can range from 1%-99%)
-
because of the nature of the relationship
and inherent limitations of the analysis, the results can fall into the
inconclusive range >20%, but <80%. We do not consider this a
very reliable test and should be used only if the relationships cannot be
determined using Uncle/Aunt vs. Nephew/Niece tests.
-
Siblings (exclusions <15%; inclusions
>90%). This test is usually reliable.
-
Half-siblings (exclusions <15%;
inclusions >90%) This test is usually reliable.
-
Individual DNA profiles (16
markers)
-
Probability of Identity:
-
African American 1 in 1.3 x 1018
-
US Caucasian 1 in 5 x 1018
-
US Hispanic 1 in 7.7 x 1018
-
Native American 1 in 3.6 x 1017
What are some of the uses for DNA tests?
-
Determine parentage (mother or father)
-
Immigration such as a Petition
for Alien Relative
-
Adoption - to confirm biological parentage of
child to be adopted
-
Adoptees - to confirm relatedness to biological
family members that may be found such as siblings, cousins, half-siblings,
parents, aunt, uncle
-
Determine whether twins are identical or
fraternal
-
Determine whether fraternal twins have the same
or different fathers (rare)
-
Divorce - child custody
-
Determine paternity for child custody, child
support
-
Individual DNA profile that can be used for
identification purposes
-
Infidelity Testing
Semen Detection Testing
Semen detection in stains on clothing or other objects. Acid
Phosphatase presumptive testing, microscopy and DNA profiling.
