The UK's most recommended company

Cellmark is the most recommended DNA testing company in the UK - we have been providing a confidential, conclusive & court approved DNA testing service for almost 30 years. There are many different companies providing paternity testing services particularly on the Internet, many of which offer a variety of tests, prices and sampling methods.

  

Samples are tested in the UK

Every year new DNA testing company names appear and a number of these services are operated from abroad and indeed samples are sent to Europe or North America for analysis from organisations acting as brokers or middlemen. Cellmark's labs are in Abingdon, Oxfordshire UK - just across the Irish Sea, in the same time zone, rather than across the Atlantic Ocean!

You should ensure that you choose a company that you can deal directly with and who are available for you to talk to, during your normal hours, and who can give you advice throughout the process. 

Reputation and quality

Given the importance of the decision to go ahead with a paternity test, it is vital that you choose a well established reputable company to carry out your testing, to ensure that the results are reliable and the whole process is as easy as possible for you and to ensure that the results can be used in court! Cellmark's test results have been acccepted by the civil courts in Ireland in cases where the Status of Children Act 1987 applies.

Fully accredited and certified

You should look for your paternity tester to be fully accredited, regulated and experienced in providing highly conclusive results quickly and effectively.

Cellmark has been accredited in the UK by the Ministry of Justice as a body that may carry out parentage tests directed by the civil courts in England and Wales under section 20 of the Family Law Reform Act 1969 we hold internationally approved quality accreditation standards - ISO9001, ISO17025 and ISO27001.
