Accepted DNA Sample Options
Cheek swabs are recommended whenever possible because they typically provide the strongest DNA sample. Qualifying alternative DNA samples may include:
- Used toothbrush
- Hair with root or follicle preferred
- Earwax swab
- Nail clippings
- Chewed gum
- Disposable razor
A cheek swab may be used for one participant and an alternative DNA sample for another, depending on sample type and lab requirements.
Pricing Structure for Alternative Samples
Standard cheek swab collection is included. Alternative or discreet DNA samples may require viability testing and additional processing fees.
- Standard DIY Grandparent DNA Test: Both participants use cheek swabs.
- One Alternative Sample + One Cheek Swab: Additional alternative sample processing fee may apply.
- Two Alternative Samples: Additional alternative sample processing fees may apply.
- Additional Alternative Sample for the Same Person: Additional sample fee may apply for each extra sample submitted.
Important: All alternative DNA samples require viability testing. If usable DNA cannot be extracted, a replacement sample may be required. Viability testing and alternative sample processing fees are non-refundable once testing has begun.
