The Only Prenatal DNA Paternity Test on the Market Meeting AABB-accreditation Standards
AABB accreditation verifies that the Certainty test meets or exceeds industry standards set by a panel of independent, expert scientists. Moreover, AABB accreditation requires that “chain of custody” be preserved through chronological documentation that shows the collection, custody, control, transfer, analysis, and disposition of DNA samples. This is a very strong point of differentiation because a laboratory must have AABB-accreditation and follow chain-of-custody procedures so test results are accepted by a court of law or an immigration authority.
Certainty provides a probability of paternity during pregnancy by comparing the genetic profile of fetal cells isolated from the mother’s blood to that of the possible father. As a non-invasive test, Certainty relies only on a blood sample from the mother and a cheek-swab sample from the father, making the test completely safe for both mother and pregnancy. This is a significant advancement over the older methods, which are invasive tests that pose a risk of miscarriage.
“Since its founding, DDC has committed to providing reliable, rapid, and accessible genetic-testing services based on the most advanced DNA technology available,” added Michael Baird, PhD, chief science officer and laboratory director for DDC. “The Certainty prenatal paternity test is a prime example of our dedication to innovation and quality, providing accurate paternity results as early as seven weeks into pregnancy— one of the earliest in the industry. It is gratifying to have an organization with the reputation of the AABB acknowledge our quality standards by accrediting this test.”
Founded in 1995, DDC is one of the largest private DNA-testing companies, offering diagnostic and genetic tests to help answer relationship, fertility, and health and wellness questions. DDC provides products cleared by the FDA and EMA, and is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), the Ministry of Justice, New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), The College of American Pathologists (CAP), and the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA). DDC is also accredited by the globally-accepted ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), Standards Council of Canada (SCC), and the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA), to meet the international quality standards of ISO 17025.

I had a DNA test done on my Daughters alleged Fathers Mom, Because the Alleged dad was killed a few years ago . I got the results back and I don’t understand it ? It says “combined relationness was 0.2579. It also says that “The likelihood of the alleged relative is Not the biological relative of the rested child is 4 To 1.. “Testing if additional relatives is recommended “…. does this mean that she is absolutely NOT her biological grandmother??? Please help ? I don’t understand this darn thing! Lol
Hi, Audi. It means that the probability of relationship is 25%, which is considered inconclusive. Did your daughter participate in the test too? If she didn’t, her participation could help produce more conclusive results.

Hi, NikB. Our non-invasive prenatal paternity test is just as accurate as a postnatal one. There is no need to do an additional test after birth.
Are there any locations in massachusetts?
Hi, Alexandra. We have many DNA-collection options for residents of Massachusetts. Please contact us at 800-929-0847 (M-F, 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern).
Hello,
Does this test only provide results for the possible father? If a surrogate is carrying the child and I want to test if the women who provided the egg is the mother could a swap be taken from the egg donor? And why does this test not work in twins or multiples?
Hi, Gabby. This test has only been validated to provide paternity answers for one possible father and one child. The science does not allow answers for multiples.
Have any courts accepted the test as proof positive yet?
Hi, John. It is an individual court’s discretion whether or not they’ll accept any results for a paternity test, be it postnatal or prenatal. However, if the test is a chain-of-custody one, then results are court admissible.
Are there testing sites in or around Pittsburgh Pa?
