Yes, it is possible. Retesting is provided free of charge.
Triple prenatal paternity testing has an accuracy of 99.99% or higher.
This test uses a non-invasive method, making it completely safe for both the mother and the baby, with no risk of miscarriage.
Non-invasive prenatal testing is completely safe and does not pose any risk to the mother or fetus. Unlike invasive tests, it does not disturb the safe environment of the womb. Invasive prenatal tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, collect fetal DNA through procedures that carry a risk of miscarriage.
To conduct this test, we need two blood samples from the pregnant mother, two oral swabs from the mother, and two oral swabs from the presumed father.
Blood samples and oral swabs from the mother, as well as oral swabs from the father, do not need to be collected at the same location. However, it is important that all samples are collected on the same day and sent to the lab as quickly as possible. This helps prevent DNA degradation and ensures the samples remain viable. Ideally, DNA extraction should be performed within one week of blood collection.
Yes, a reference sample from the presumed father is needed to verify whether the fetal DNA matches.
Blood samples from the pregnant mother should be collected by a medical facility or healthcare professional capable of safely drawing blood. Please arrange this at your convenience. We partner with over 100 clinics throughout Japan, and you can have the blood sample collected at one of these partner clinics.
Oral swab samples from both the mother and the presumed father can be easily collected by yourself. These samples should be collected on the same day as the blood draw, and it is important to send all samples to the lab immediately. This ensures the quality of the samples is maintained.
The prenatal paternity test is available from the 8th week of pregnancy. It is not recommended to perform this test earlier, as there is a high likelihood that there may not be sufficient fetal DNA in the mother’s blood before this time.
The results will be provided via email within 7 business days after all samples have arrived at the lab.
Yes, this test is suitable for mothers who have undergone infertility treatments. While mistakes in the IVF process are rare, there is a possibility that an incorrect sperm sample could be used. This could result in the sperm donor not being the biological father of the child. Prenatal paternity testing can help identify such errors before the baby is born.
