Home Paternity Testing
Beta Paternity is the industry leader for private, self-collection DNA tests. For almost a decade, clients have preferred the hassle-free experience with Beta Paternity’s laboratory and client service staff.
Why Home Paternity Testing?
Many clients choose the private, self-collection method of DNA paternity testing for several reasons:
- Clients want to confirm or disprove suspicions quietly before proceeding with a legal test, should they find the need for one. Doing so avoids unnecessary confrontations that can cause uncomfortable tensions in the family.
- Clients are taking the test for personal knowledge only, and they want to avoid the inconvenience of scheduling and driving to a sample collection appointment (required in paternity testing for legal purposes).
- Clients want to collect samples privately and discreetly, with as few other persons involved as possible. In a legal paternity test, a trained professional collects thumbprints and takes photographs of those tested. This can prove to be a daunting prospect for some clients who want to maintain privacy.
Why Beta’s Home Paternity Test?
There are many benefits of choosing Beta’s home paternity test over others:

Ease of using the free, simple and complete Beta Self-Collection™ Kit |
| |
Using buccal swabs—cheek swabs that look like longer versions of a cotton swab—you can collect DNA samples anywhere and at any time you choose. It’s as painless as brushing your teeth, and it’s safe even for small babies. We’ll send you the Beta Self-Collection™ kit free of charge—collect your samples and mail them back to our laboratory using the postage-paid envelope we provide. Testing begins as soon as our laboratory receives all samples and the paternity testing fees.
We also have the capability to test hair samples and other unusual samples, if necessary. Call 1-800-798-3810 to consult with our customer representatives about unusual samples. |

Assurance of quality from a laboratory that we own and operate |
| |
Unlike many home paternity testing companies you may find online, we own the DNA testing laboratory. You can be sure that you are sending your samples directly to a quality laboratory, without any delay or having samples pass through too many hands. Other companies try to find the cheapest laboratory services to maximize their profits. They might use a laboratory that cuts corners in order to offer low-priced tests. Our testing procedures exceed the industry standards, and the results we give you are 100% accurate.

Accurate test results |
| |
Our laboratory uses many safeguards in procedures to ensure that the DNA test results we give you are correct. We independently test each sample twice and compare the results at the end of the tests to eliminate false exclusions—a common mistake in other laboratories when they have sample contaminations or mix-ups.
We test a minimum of 16 DNA markers to ensure accurate results. In the case of a genetic mutation, we can use an extended testing panel to give our scientists a more comprehensive set of data they can use to generate conclusive results. Our scientists have handled thousands of paternity cases, and they have acquired authoritative experience in interpreting paternity test results. |

Double guarantee for accurate and fast results |
| |
Because we recognize that you’re anxious to receive accurate paternity answers as soon as possible, we have optimized every step of the DNA testing process, enabling us to give you a double guarantee:
Probability of Paternity Guarantee
The probability of paternity (PoP) is a measure of how strongly the DNA evidence indicates that the tested man is the biological father of the child (an inclusion result). Our testing is so powerful that we can guarantee a PoP of 99.9999% for all cases in which the mother, alleged father, and child are all tested. Without the mother, the guaranteed probability is 99.99%.
5-Day Test Results Guarantee
DNA testing is a complicated process that must be carefully completed. We are able to offer a 5-day guarantee: your results will be ready 5 working days after we receive all your samples in the laboratory.
