Anyone used Identigene at home Paternity Test!!?

Question

i need people who have actually used the product to please answer.
I want to know.. what it involves. Do you just do the swab and send it off.? Do you fill out information about the father and the parent and the child? Do they need names of the people getting tested and such? and would you have to put your actual name?
Im doing a 'fake case' for a law class and really really need some help with this.
Also is there a way to cheat the test..such as
Ex: A is NOT the father of B
C IS the father of D.
if you were trying to get the results for A and B...could A swab the mouths of C and D because he'll know they match and send it off as his own?
Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it

Answer 1

First, the test is not admissible as evidence, due to the ability to cheat by providing false info and swabs of the wrong person. Here is a representative you can write.

The IDENTIGENE DNA tesitng kit that you can purchase from your local pharmacy is a peace of mind test, it is not admissible in court. This is because the kits are taken home and the participants collect the samples themselves and send them in for testing with a processing fee. The lab can not verify whose sample they actually have, and the lab will put what ever name on the report that the customer puts on the samles. If the customer needs something for court they must do a legal test. This means the participants are sent to a collection facility, which the lab arranges for them. The collector will verify ID, and take photos in most cases. Then the collector sends the samples to the lab to establish a chain of custody. This makes it leagal. That way the lab can verify whose sample they actually have. There is no way to "cheat" the test. There is nothing you can do that will change your DNA. The report will state either: A is Not Excuded as the biological father with a probability of 99% or higher, or it will say A is Excluded as the biological father of B with a 0% probability of paternity.
