DNA
TESTING
ETDT offers paternity testing by appointment. Paternity testing provides scientific evidence of whether a man can be a child's biological father. Paternity is determined by comparing the child's DNA with the DNA profile of the alleged father. Results are typically back within 7 business days and the required documentation needed is: birth certificate for the child, social security card for the child, government issued photo ID for the father and social security number for father.
ETDT offers a variety of different types of DNA testing.
