Paternity
Testing
Corporation
(PTC) (also doing business as Accredited DNA Parentage Testing)
is a DNA testing laboratory accredited by the American Association
of Blood Banks (AABB). As our name implies, PTC specializes
in testing to determine the biological parent of a child,
or other family relationship.
NOT
ALL DNA TESTING IS THE SAME
There are
significant differences in the reliability of paternity
tests. Some of the factors contributing to differences between
laboratories and between tests are described in this web
site. From our inception PTC has provided the
most reliable testing available, so that you can have the
highest level of confidence that you are receiving the correct
answer to the important question of biological parentage.
PTC
leads the industry in guaranteed reliability of testing.
Many extra steps and precautions in testing give our tests
added reliability (see the informational topics for
Reliability,
False
Positives,
and Guaranty).
We are the only laboratory in the United States that guarantees
a minimum probability of paternity of 99.99%.
PTC is also
very reasonably priced (see the Fee
Schedule).
In addition,
PTC strives to provide the best possible customer service.
Part of that commitment is reflected in our fast turn-around
time. For standard cases we normally mail out your results
within ten working days from the date we receive your specimens.
Faster testing is also available.
You will
find our staff extremely helpful. We will be happy to spend
as much time as you need to answer your questions. This
is an extremely important issue in your life. You deserve
our full attention. No question is too trivial or too complicated
for us to spend the time with you to explain the answer.
Scientists
involved with PTC are at the forefront of international
research in the field of human DNA testing. They include
scientists with years of experience on the international
Human Genome Project, current and former staff from the
National Science Foundation and the National Institutes
of Health, and university and medical school faculty and
research staff. They offer the utmost expertise in paternity
testing.
Paternity
Testing Corporation performs testing throughout the United
States and worldwide. Specimen collection facilities are
available locally, at convenient locations, so that travel
is not required. Cheek swabs are generally used for specimen
collection, so that it is no longer necessary to use blood.
Testing is completely confidential.
