Suspecting a partner of infidelity can be a deeply painful experience. DNA infidelity testing offers a scientifically-based solution to help you uncover the truth. By testing fabric samples from underwear, clothing, or sheets that you provide, our tests can accurately confirm or deny the presence of male or female DNA. We offer two types of infidelity DNA tests, and our experts are here to help you determine which one is right for your needs. Every consultation is free, private, and completely confidential. Please note that infidelity testing is intended for informational purposes only and is not an accredited test, as it does not maintain the legal chain of custody for the submitted samples.

Please note that due to state regulations, testing is not available in Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Vermont.

A maternity DNA test confirms whether the tested woman is the biological mother of the child in question. This type of testing operates similarly to a paternity test, except that it compares the child's DNA profile with that of the mother rather than the father.

The AABB’s Relationship Testing Accreditation program is the international gold standard for DNA paternity testing laboratories. The program establishes and promotes the highest standards of testing quality and care for patients and clients in all aspects of parentage and other relationship testing. Most courts and other government agencies mandate that DNA tests be performed by AABB-accredited laboratories. DDC received its initial AABB accreditation in 1996 and received AABB’s commendable practice recognition in 2004 for our Dual Process™.
