www.hairdnatest.com At easyDNA we receive a large number of queries for DNA Paternity Testing through samples other than the buccal swabs that are now the standard in DNA testing. Based on our experience, we have prepared this site to provide clear and comprehensive information for individuals currently considering performing a DNA Paternity test through non-standard samples.

Buccal swabs are relatively easy to use, pain-free, and can be easily sent by post in the home dna paternity kit normally sent out to clients. Hence they provide an excellent medium to obtain DNA from an individual. However, occasions arise when it is not possible to obtain the sample directly from the individual, as for example in the case of a dead or missing person. Of course, one of the major use of such testing is in the field of criminal DNA Forensics, where scene of the crime samples are collected to be processed for DNA to be matched to the DNA of any suspects.

Therefore, in such cases, it is possible to utilise alternative samples (defined as non-standard samples) to obtain the DNA of a person for the purpose of DNA Paternity Testing, DNA Relationship Testing or other DNA tests.
