IDENTIGENE Redesigns DNA Paternity Testing Website

by HOMEDNA on 12/11/2012

We recently launched our newly redesigned company website, www.dnatesting.com. If you are reading this, you possibly accessed our blog via the new website. Since 1993, IDENTIGENE has been a leader in the DNA paternity testing field. We were the first DNA paternity test to be marketed directly to consumers, bought online, and available at the drugstore and at super centers nationwide. Because of IDENTIGENE’s direct-to-consumer focus, it was elemental that the website be redesigned to provide more straightforward and time-saving product information as well as incorporate quality short, informational videos that provide the customer with the information they need before making an informed and trusting purchase decision.

On the newly designed website’s home page, consumers can access eleven new informative videos. The topics cover everything from how the product works to special New York State testing requirements to court admissible DNA paternity testing. Also, current customers have easy access to their test results by typing in their username and password. Other highlights to the home page include ‘Find a Store’, ‘Buy Online’, ‘One Day Rush Processing’, and icons that link the consumer to IDENTIGENE’s social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

The links at the top of the home page include: Buy Now, Home Paternity Test, Legal DNA Test, DNA Laboratory, and Resources. Under each of these categories, consumers can access several sub categories. Moreover, the webpage allows consumers to access many topics surrounding DNA testing, not just DNA paternity testing. For example, under the ‘Resources’ tab, consumers have access to the DNA testing blog, Gentopedia (an encyclopedia-like information source covering the history of DNA and where the science is today), frequently asked questions, test stories and counseling services.

We hope that the newly designed webpage will showcase our company’s dedication to staying current with the ever-changing social media world as well as provide current customers and potential customers with a stress-free, user friendly, informative consumer product website. ‘We are extremely satisfied with our new webpage design. We think it is very user-friendly and vastly informative,’ says Steve Smith, Executive Director. ‘Any person that is curious about DNA testing can obtain all the information they need just from our site,’ adds Smith.

IDENTIGENE DNA Paternity Test: How it Works

by HOMEDNA on 12/01/2012

You are a mother and a little voice is asking, ‘What if Eric is not the dad and it’s really Michael? or ‘What if I’m allowing my child to bond with a man who isn’t really his father?’

Or maybe you are a father, harboring a doubt that that you have been told the truth. Your friends tell you rumors about your girlfriend’s infidelity or you remember being ‘broken up’ around the time the baby was conceived.

Guess what? If you want peace of mind, it’s time for an IDENTIGENE DNA paternity test.

How? It’s the easiest paternity test out there! First, head to your nearest major drugstore. IDENTIGENE can be found at retailers including CVS, Rite Aid and Walmart.

How it Works

1. Now that you have the kit: Open it! There are three sets of swabs, an order form, envelopes for the DNA samples and instructions.

2. Next, read the instructions and fill out the order form and envelopes-this makes the next steps much easier! You can register and pay for your test online or you’ll need to fill out the order form and include your method of payment for the lab fee.

3. You are ready to grab DNA samples! Take each swab and gently but thoroughly rub each of the three swabs on the inside of the possible father’s cheek and place in the envelope labeled with the correct name. Now, swab the child and place the swabs in his/her envelope. If the mother is present, swab her too; if not, don’t worry! Our laboratory will still be able to provide paternity answers. Adding ‘Mom’ gives us more DNA to examine and it can act as a “DNA insurance policy” if testing possible father with the child yield inconclusive results.

4. Now, put all the forms and envelopes into the postage-paid envelope and drop it into the mail. If you can’t wait for snail mail, feel free to use a priority mail service to overnight the envelope to us for quicker shipping.

That’s it! Painless! Your results will be ready two (2) business days after the samples arrive at our lab in Cincinnati. If you prefer, you can select 1-day or same-day results for an additional fee.

NERVOUS? Don’t be! Taking the IDENTIGENE DNA Paternity Test is a smart decision. We use the best DNA technology available and our test is guaranteed accurate. Our laboratory is accredited by the AABB (American Association of Blood Banks) and L.A.B (Laboratory Accreditation Bureau). You can always call us with questions, at any step of the process. We are here to help.

TAKING A LEGAL PATERNITY TEST? These instructions above are for the at-home test. The first step in a legal paternity test with IDENTIGENE is to give us a call. You can also read more about legal testing here.

IDENTIGENE Offering Free DNA Laboratory Processing to Licensed Social Workers

by HOMEDNA on 11/26/2012

IDENTIGENE supports social workers and their role in helping children and families realize a better future. The Kids Deserve to be Liked program enables a social worker to provide a client with free laboratory processing for a DNA paternity test-a $129 value. The offer extends through December 31, 2012.

IDENTIGENE Kids Deserve to be Liked Facebook campaign has generated awareness and a $3,000 donation for Family Resource Center in Missouri (FRC). The mission of FRC is to give kids a chance at a better life by preventing and treating all forms of child abuse and neglect and by strengthening families through family-centered therapeutic, educational and support services.

It’s simple for a social worker to obtain a promotional code for a free laboratory processing fee. Any licensed social worker may call IDENTIGENE Client Support at 1-888-404-4363 Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time. The client’s only cost is the purchase of a paternity test kit, available at major drugstores and super centers nationwide at a suggested retail price of $29.99.

‘Research shows that children who can identify their biological father are more successful in school, fare better emotionally, and are less likely to live in poverty or suffer abuse and neglect,’ says Steve Smith, Executive Director at IDENTIGENE . He says the IDENTIGENE paternity test helps to put the missing piece in the family puzzle together in hopes of creating a support system for the child. ‘When a father is unavailable or unable to parent,’ says Smith, ‘certainty about paternity often empowers a grandparent or other relative to help.’

IDENTIGENE says it is offering free laboratory testing for social workers because the company appreciates the champion social workers are for kids and families. ‘Social workers help families and children in so many settings from schools to hospitals to agencies like Family Resource Center. We are proud to support social workers any way we can,’ says Smith.
