Is this New Non-Invasive Pre-Natal Paternity Test cost effective and can it be validated in a court?
KellyBrian
This is an expensive test and can cut a big hole in your pocket. Costing about $1000 - more if you have multiple paternal samples to be compared - and results can usually be obtained within just a couple of weeks. Though considered safe many laboratories doubt its accuracy and currently, this test is not endorsed by AABB-accredited laboratories and because the father's sample is not validated, the test would likely not be admissible in a paternity suit.
