Ampath Laboratories offers accredited forensic DNA testing to determine biological relationships in both legal and personal contexts. Our analyses are based on validated genetic methodologies and adhere to strict chain of-custody protocols to ensure results are accurate, confidential, and legally admissible when required.

Our relationship testing services are commonly used in the following scenarios:

Paternity testing – to confirm or exclude the biological relationship between a child and an alleged father

Maternity testing – in cases of adoption, surrogacy, or hospital mix-ups

Sibling testing – to assess whether individuals share one or both biological parents

Grand parentage testing – useful when the alleged parent is unavailable for testing

Avuncular testing – to determine a biological relationship through an aunt or uncle

Immigration and citizenship cases – where proof of a biological relationship is required by authorities

Inheritance or estate claims – to establish rightful beneficiaries in legal matters

Personal reassurance – for individuals seeking clarity about their biological relationships without legal proceedings

Testing can be requested by private individuals, legal professionals, or government agencies, and results are typically available within a standard turnaround time under full confidentiality.:
