DNA certainty before birth: AlphaBiolabs’ NIPP test transforms family law

224748
AlphaBiolabs is revolutionising family law with its Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) test, enabling paternity confirmation as early as seven weeks into pregnancy—without any risk to mother or baby

Unlike invasive methods, NIPP uses a simple blood sample from the mother and cheek swabs from the alleged father(s), analysing up to 153 DNA markers for unmatched accuracy. This early clarity is vital in safeguarding, disputed paternity, and care planning cases, helping courts and social services make informed decisions faster and with less conflict.

AlphaBiolabs is the only UK lab with UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation for NIPP testing and offers rapid results, expert case management, and nationwide sample collection—all within Legal Aid Agency rates. With a price promise and Ministry of Justice approval, AlphaBiolabs sets the gold standard in prenatal DNA testing. Director of Genetics Casey Randall leads the charge, ensuring scientific excellence and innovation in every case.
