Cheap DNA Test

Unless a person has an identical twin, they will have a unique DNA pattern which they can be identified by. DNA tests can also help determine a person’s parentage or siblings, with paternity tests being the most commonly requested. However, DNA tests are not cheap and this leads many people to look for assistance on the internet, where a DNA test kit often costs a quarter of the price a hospital would charge. But a cheap DNA test is as good as useless if the company you use is unreliable. Therefore, you need to be aware of how to find a company with the right credentials or why some $99 DNA test sites should be avoided.A home DNA test is a cost effective alternative to attending a DNA testing lab.

When looking at the company’s website always check to see if they are approved by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). To gain this approval, a company must comply with very strict procedures when obtaining the results of their DNA analysis. For instance, as a quality control measure the AABB recommends that the laboratory repeats tests with an exclusion result twice. In addition to a lack of AABB approval, be aware that cheap DNA test companies or companies offering a fast turnaround may not be reputable. A company which pitches its price too low probably does not have the funds to carry out repeat tests and promising a fast turnaround may also show they are compromising on accuracy.
Avoid DNA testing companies which offer only a PO Box address. This may show the company you are dealing with is a broker rather than the laboratory. They may cut corners to ensure healthy profit margins for themselves, while compromising the exact results of your test.

Look at the small print on the company’s website. Some of the deals offered by DNA testing companies seem cheap because the advertised price is not all inclusive. For instance, you may have to pay for the cost of the kit or for receiving the results, on top of the quoted price. If you want to include a sample from the mother, which is recommended for valid results, this may also be an additional fee.
A cheaper price, in some cases, may be an indication of a lack of skill or experience in the staff at the DNA testing laboratory. For example, they may be using part time graduate students. Under staffing may also be a problem. Alternatively, they may be a genetic research company trying to increase their profit margins by offering DNA paternity tests ‘on the side’. Quality control may be an issue. Meeting quality control guidelines is especially important if you require a court admissible home DNA test.
