Get clear answers about biological parentage with postnatal DNA paternity testing at Smart Labs Now in Portland. The estimated turnaround for donors or clients to receive results is 48 hours. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed delivery time; Friday collections may take longer. Tell us whether your test is for personal information or a legal matter so we can arrange the appropriate collection process.
Need answers during pregnancy? Ask about our separate non-invasive prenatal paternity service. Prenatal eligibility, collection requirements and turnaround differ from postnatal testing.
For legal testing, contact us before collection with any court or agency instructions. We will confirm the participants, identification, paperwork and documented specimen handling needed for the test. The receiving court or agency determines whether results meet its requirements.
Often, a judge may order DNA testing as part of a court-ordered legal proceeding in order to establish parentage or determine if an individual is entitled to certain benefits. Even if DNA testing has not been requested by the court, having legally sound DNA results from an AABB accredited lab can prove beneficial in a wide range of legal matters.
The DNA Testing Process
For postnatal paternity testing, our team explains the test and collects the required DNA samples, commonly with cheek swabs. Samples are sent to our laboratory partners, including Access Labs, for analysis. We confirm the reporting process before collection. Standard postnatal testing has an estimated 48-hour turnaround for donors or clients to receive results; Friday collections may take longer. Prenatal paternity testing follows a separate process and timeline.
