Determine the father of an unborn baby using mother blood (maternal blood) through Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity DNA Test.
Parentage test by using the blood of the mother (maternal blood) to extract the unborn baby DNA with the biological father for comparison.
Remarks: For the above tests are for personal used and non-legal purpose only, if you require the test for legal purpose, please contact us and we will provide to you more information.
In general, traditional invasive sample collection methods, such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis, has certain risks for both the mother and the fetus, and they require pregnancy to be at least 10 weeks along before they can be performed.
The non-invasive prenatal DNA paternity testing offered by ApexHealth, on the other side, can be done earliest as 7 weeks into the pregnancy. The testing is conducted using a blood sample from the pregnant mother and a DNA sample from the alleged father, eliminating the need for invasive procedures. Test results is shortened to 6-8 business days.
As early as the 7th of gestational week of pregnancy. Blood will be drawn from the mother to analyse cell-free fetal DNA.
Remark: This DNA test may not be suitable for pregnant women who have previously received a blood transfusion, organ transplant, immunotherapy, or are carrying a pregnancy through surrogacy.
If a buccal swab is used, the sample is collected by gently rubbing a cotton swab on the inside of the cheek. This is a simple, painless and non-invasive sample collection procedure.
You may choose to have the alleged father’s sample collected on-site by our laboratory medical technician, or collect the sample from the alleged father yourself. We will provide a complete sample collection guide to assist you throughout the process.
Remark: Other special specimen types such as hair, nails and beard stubble, may also be accepted.
Our test uses next-generation sequencing technology to analyse over 1.8 million DNA base pairs, covering approximately 13,000 SNP markers.
You may book and order the test online. Alternatively, please call us at (852) 3504 2738 to arrange a sample collection appointment with our team and submit your samples.
Our professional laboratory staff will collect a blood sample from the pregnant mother and a DNA sample from the alleged father.
“Our longstanding commitment ensure you to get the DNA relationship answers you trust.”
Frequently Asked Questions?
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPPT) is a non-invasive genetic test suitable for early pregnancy. Unlike traditional invasive procedures such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS), NIPPT does not require entering the uterus and does not affect the fetus, helping to protect both mother and baby.
During pregnancy, cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is released into the mother’s bloodstream. The test requires a maternal blood sample, from which fetal DNA fragments are analysed and compared with the alleged father’s DNA sample to establish biological paternity with high accuracy.
Unlike amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, which are invasive procedures and may carry a miscarriage risk, NIPPT only requires a 10–20 mL maternal blood draw. The procedure is similar to a routine blood test and does not involve entering the uterus.
NIPPT can be performed from 7 completed weeks of pregnancy, allowing earlier testing than many traditional prenatal diagnostic procedures.
For pregnancies of 7 weeks or above that meet the laboratory’s testing requirements, the test can achieve a probability of paternity of over 99.99% when the alleged father is included.

Important: Due to the nature and stability of special samples, an inconclusive result may occur. Special-sample handling and testing incur an additional fee of HK$500. These samples may not be suitable for legal purposes. Please contact us for details before submitting a special sample.
We take personal privacy seriously. All personal information and DNA test results are handled confidentially and will not be disclosed to any third party without the customer’s written consent, except where required by law.
Yes. The alleged father may collect a sample overseas, such as a buccal swab or an accepted special specimen(s), and arrange for it to be delivered to our laboratory for comparative analysis.
Please contact us before arranging overseas sample collection to ensure that the sample collection, packaging and delivery requirements are met.

After confirming your appointment, please visit our laboratory for sample collection. ApexHealth provides private sample-collection rooms, and the entire process usually takes approximately 20 minutes.
Before sample collection, our professional team will conduct an initial assessment. We will confirm that the pregnancy has reached at least 7 completed weeks and assess whether the fetal cell-free DNA level is likely to meet testing requirements.
The pregnant mother will provide a 10mL venous blood sample. The alleged father will provide a DNA sample, most commonly through a buccal swab collected by gently rubbing a cotton swab against the inside of the cheek.
Blood samples, hair with follicles, nail clippings and other special samples may also be considered, subject to laboratory assessment.
The samples will undergo high-precision comparative DNA analysis. Under normal circumstances, the turnaround time is approximately 6–8 working days. An expedited service may be available at an additional charge.
Once testing is complete, results will be delivered securely. To protect privacy, customers may choose to receive the report by encrypted email or collect a printed report in person at our centre.
The entire testing process takes estimated 45 minutes.
The report will be issued 6-8 working days once collected all samples.
