Home Kit
In order to collect DNA samples we dispatch to our clients a home kit
specifically designed to collect DNA samples quickly and efficiently. The home kit
consists of three sets of mouth swabs to collect the samples from all
the parties involved in DNA testing and envelopes in which to store them. DNA
Bioscience uses state-of-the-art materials for our DNA collection home
kit which ensures the most efficient way of collecting and preserving
DNA samples. The use of the DNA testing home kit is on the incline. DNA testing in general is on the increase and this is as a direct result of a number of factors:
Births outside marriage grew by 11.25% in the decade between 1991 and 2001. This is important evidence to support the growth figures for the paternity testing market.
There is evidence to suggest that attitudes amongst younger unmarried fathers to paternity tests are radically different to the older generation / married men. In a survey reported in the Scottish Daily Record October 26th 2002, 25% of men under the age of 21 said they would demand a paternity test if a woman claimed they had got her pregnant.
In 2001 there were 238,886 births outside marriage, and around 24,000 births in women younger than 18. The problem of paternity amongst the young is a large and growing issue.
There were 143,818 divorces granted in England and Wales in 2001,
compared with 141,135 in 2000 - an increase of 1.9 percent. This is the first time that the number of divorces has increased since 1996.
Seventy percent of all divorces in 2001 were between couples where
the marriage had been the first for both parties, compared with 80 percent in 1982. This means more second families and more complex family structures.
A total of 146,914 children aged under 16 were in families where the
parents divorced in 2001, of whom just under a quarter were aged under
five. This points to substantial growth in the number of children who may grow up with 'Paternity issues'.
In the early 1970s, fewer than one in 12 of all families with
dependent children was a lone mother family. By 2000, this proportion had almost trebled to just less than one in four. More single mothers by definition mean more absent fathers.
Single lone mother families - where the lone mothers have never
married - continued to grow between 1996 and 2000, to one in nine of all families with dependent children. Dependent children in single lone mother families form one in 11 of all dependent children.
Single lone mothers form two in every five lone parents, while over
one third of all dependent children in lone parent families live in single
lone mother families.
