ARCpoint of Lancaster uses the Buccal swab testing technology which is a
non-invasive DNA testing method.
The Buccal swab testing technology is also known as cotton swab testing because the Buccal swabs resemble Q-tips. This test is administered by gently rubbing a swab inside the cheek.
DNA Testing Methods are:
- Fast - The entire process takes minutes to complete.
- Accurate - Results are over 99% accurate.
- Non-Invasive - No pain, no injections, just a simple cotton swab rubbed against your inner cheek.
DNA Testing results are typically returned within 3 to 5 business days.
If you require Court Admissible Test Results, a notarized copy of results will be sent through the mail within 5 business days.
Prenatal paternity testing is not offered by ARCpoint of Lancaster CA. We suggest waiting until the child is born. Buccal swab testing is so gentle it can be performed on newborn babies.

What can I do if the legally presumed father will not allow a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity?
A. Generally, voluntary acknowledgements of paternity are not allowed unless the legally presumed father consents to it or a Court determines that the legally presumed father is not, in fact, the biological father of the child. The best way to reconcile this situation is to request a DNA test be conducted on the child, mother, and the potential father.

How long does it take to collect a specimen for a DNA paternity test?
A. It only takes about 5 minutes to collect the actual DNA specimen samples. However, due to paperwork, it is best to schedule additional time.
