- DNA Test
Should DNA samples for a paternity test be refrigerated?
No, DNA samples from buccal swabs, blood, hair, etc., for paternity tests should not be refrigerated, this type of sample should be kept in a dry place without exposing it to the sun, thus keeping it completely different from any other type of exam.
In the Paternity Study, all that is needed to perform a DNA paternity test is a saliva DNA sample (buccal swab) from the alleged father and the alleged son/daughter.

I’m very impressed! This company has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with from the moment I picked up the phone. I ordered a paternity kit and it was shipped to me after 3 business days. The test was simple and discreet, very easy to take. The results were available after 5 days and I can finally sleep better knowing the truth.
