subject: Free Dna Testing Kits, And How To Order Them [print this page] Biological relationships are relatively simple to establish by means of DNA analysis. There was a time not so long ago when testing was complex and time consuming, and involved blood samples taken by doctors. Now, however, developments in sampling procedures and instrumental DNA analysis has brought the cost down to a level affordable by private individuals, and various forms of DNA screening and testing are now commonplace. The paternity DNA test is one that has grown in popularity along with fidelity testing. All that is required today are oral swabs containing saliva and skin cells from the inside of the cheek, and biological relationship scan be proved beyond all reasonable doubt.
When you order a test the laboratory involved will send you a free DNA kit consisting of swabs, containers or envelopes for returning the samples to the laboratory, documentation to be filled in and clear instructions on how to collect and return the samples. The actual contents will vary between test providers, but these will be the basic contents. There might be additional material such as advertisements and promotions, but each will contain the above as a minimum.
It is important to many people that the instructions are very clear, because some are concerned about not collecting the samples properly and getting a false result. Although this cannot happen, it is a concern and should be addressed. Written instructions are open to interpretation, and at the very least there should be a diagram. Even better would be a video showing the whole procedure from start to finish.
Another concern for many is prying eyes. They would rather that others that it does not concern should know nothing about the tests they are organizing, and require privacy when their free test kit arrives. This can be done if the laboratory is informed that the customer would prefer the free DNA kit delivered in a plain package with no external indication of its contents. Once received it should be used, and the paternity problem resolved once and for all.
