It is a test for chromosomal abnormalities, fetal infections and otherwise genetic abnormalities which could result in problems with a growing fetus. It is conducted via a micro-extraction of amniotic fluid which contains fetal tissue which of course is used as a DNA sample to detect those potential abnormalities early on.

can a prenatal paternity test be done ?

Yes. Prenatal paternaty tests can be done. They can be done though a genetics doctor which actually aren't that hard to find. They are performed via an amniocentisis. It's a pretty safe procedure where a needle is inserted throught the belly into the amniotic sac and fluid is collected. From there it takes up to 4 weeks for results.
