Test Overview & Methodology
Order your kit online for 200 AED, receive it within 24 hours, collect your cheek swab samples in minutes using the enclosed stabilization matrix, then activate your chosen test and return the sample to our ISO-accredited laboratory using the pre-paid secure packaging. You select and pay for the specific DNA analysis you need—paternity, ancestry, or extended family—only at the activation stage.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Our 28-loci multiplex STR strategy yields definitive statistical power exceeding 99.9999% from simple, non-invasive buccal swabs—no painful blood draws are ever required. This expanded marker panel completely eliminates mutational ambiguities that frequently compromise standard 16-loci tests, providing absolute confidence in relationship conclusions." — Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
Critical Legal Notice
This self-collection kit is designed strictly for personal knowledge and peace-of-mind verification. Because the sample collection is un-witnessed, results are not legally admissible for visa, court, or official civil status updates under UAE Federal Laws. For legally binding tests, a formal clinical appointment with chain-of-custody documentation is mandatory under Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Exclusion Criteria for Home Collection
This kit is not suitable for individuals under 18 years of age without parental consent, or for tests requiring witnessed chain-of-custody for legal proceedings. If you require court-admissible results, please schedule an in-person appointment at our Dubai Healthcare City facility for formal collection under medical supervision.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why does the kit cost 200 AED if laboratory testing is extra?
The 200 AED covers the physical kit, 24-hour express logistics, and the temperature-stable collection matrix—you pay only for the specific DNA test you activate, ensuring you never subsidize services you don't need.
2. What is a 28-loci STR graph and why is it superior to standard testing?
A 28-loci STR electropherogram graph visually plots 28 distinct genetic markers, eliminating mutational ambiguities common in 16-loci tests and delivering >99.9999% probability of paternity.
3. Can I download my raw data for ancestry testing, and what formats do you provide?
Yes, you receive your complete raw genotype data in universal TXT and CSV formats—freely uploadable to any third-party interpretation tool with no proprietary lock-in.
4. Can I use this kit to prove paternity for official UAE government documents?
No, self-collected samples lack the witnessed chain-of-custody required for UAE court or visa purposes—you must schedule an in-person legal collection appointment for any official documentation.
UAE Regulatory & Data Privacy Adherence
