Best Answer

In the normal course of events it should not. If alcohol were consumed and then nothing else was consumed (so nothing could cleanse the mouth) and the body were in a state of mild to severe dehydration prior to consumption (completely unable to produce saliva) then it would be very remotely possible that a trace might remain.

Basically, the answer is no.

It's not that kind of test. So, no - it is only collecting tissue samples and the inside of the cheek is the easiest access.

Depending if it has a panel for it or not, yes it can but most likely they wont test for it.

What happens if 2 paternity DNA swabs come into contact?

When collecting DNA samples using buccal swabs (cheek swabs), and two swabs from separate donors touch, this can cause a contamination. I work for Identigene DNA testing center. When this happens and the swab is ran for analysis this would bring up two profiles on one swab. If this happens, we can not verify which profile is the correct profile, so we would order a recollection at that point (no extra charge).

A prenatal DNA testing can be done between the 12th -25th week of pergnancy. The first option is by extracting amniotic fluid from the mother and collection mouth swab samples from the father.

Will alcohol show in a DNA test?

Long-term alcoholism has carcinogenic effects that cause damage to DNA, if that's what you mean. The WHO (World Health Organization) classifies alcohol as a Group 1 carcinogen. Unless you were looking for genetic damage due to alcohol, a DNA test wouldn't be ideal for testing alcohol usage.


Im in America your child is in the Philippines how do you get a paternity test done?

The child's DNA samples can be collected with the use of mouth swabs included in a DNA collection kit. For the samples of the father from the US he may use cotton buds rubbing them on the left and right cheeks and placing them in a paper envelope labeled with name, date of birth and sex. When the samples are complete a DNA paternity analysis can be done.
