1. Is a cheek swab painful?
No. It is a gentle rub inside the cheek and is safe for newborns.
2. Does the mother have to participate?
Not always, though including her strengthens the analysis.
3. Can I test without the other person knowing?
No. Every adult donor must consent. We do not support covert testing.

No. Legal use requires identity-verified, supervised collection.

No. Analysis is performed by qualified, accredited laboratory partners.
