The "Swift Response" home based DNA test kit was developed to provide individuals with an easy yet reliable method of resolving genetic questions and issues.  In the convenience of your own home you can collect a buccal swab sample (cotton swab used to collect the sample from inside the cheek) from which DNA can be analyzed.  It's that easy!

 

All testing is performed by an accredited laboratory in accordance with the standards set forth by the Parentage Committee of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). The AABB inspects and accredits paternity testing laboratories based on the standards adopted and agreed upon by the Parentage Committee.

 

The results of the test are reported as a Letter of Opinion, however, due to the inability to verify the chain of custody, results from the test are normally not admissible in a court of law.  See further explanations to use the "Swift Response" results in a court of law.

 

The chain of custody refers to the various chain of "hands" that the individual sample passes through.  A legal chain of custody requires the samples to be collected in the presence of a third neutral party at a lab, clinic, or hospital facility where all parties have their identity verified.  

 

The "Swift Response" kit can provide the legal "Chain of Custody" forms to obtain a test result that can be admissible in a legal court.  This will require that you arrange for a third, disinterested party to witness and supervise the specimen collection, packaging, and mailing.  For the best chance of having your judge accept the results, the samples should be collected in the presence of a third neutral party at a lab, clinic, or hospital facility.   Expert witness testimony by a lab consultant is available at an additional charge.  Contact your attorney for additional information.

There are no guarantees that the results of this test will be court admissible.  To date, when the instructions have been properly followed, all attempts to use the "Swift Response" results in a court of law have been accepted.
