I know you’ve all heard of the Home Pregnancy Test. Now there’s a new kid on the block, the Home Paternity Test, labelled as the Identigene kit. The kit can be bought in the US for a price of US$29.99 but the catch is you don’t get the results (which cost a bit more than the kit) right away. You get some swabs in the kit which you have to use to collect the cell samples from inside the cheeks of the alleged father, the child and ideally the mother. The swabs then have to be packaged and mailed to Sorenson laboratory in Salt Lake City, Utah. The swabs are analysed at the lab and the results are either phoned, mailed or reported online within about three to five business days. The accuracy of this test is between 98 percent and 99 percent. The processing fee at the lab is US$119.00 so all in all you end up spending about US$150.00 in total to find out “who’s your daddy?”
