The Most Trusted Name in DNA Testing

Who We Are

DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC) is the world leader in private DNA paternity testing.

• DDC provides 3 out of 4 private paternity tests in the U.S.
• More doctors recommend DDC than all other DNA testing laboratories combined.
• All tests are run twice to ensure 100 percent accurate results.
• DDC is the only lab in the world to obtain and uphold 16 perfect laboratory inspections.
• All of DDC's tests are performed using a strict Chain of Custody, which means the DNA samples used in our tests are independently verified, and that the test results are reviewed and signed by a PhD scientist, notarized, and are legally defensible in a court of law.

Our Laboratory

DDC is a fully accredited laboratory and has obtained and upheld 16 perfect inspections by national and international laboratory inspection bodies. DDC consistently exceeds industry standards for its stringent procedures and world-renowned, highly qualified laboratory staff.

DDC's Laboratory is led by Dr. Michael Baird.

In 1982, Dr. Baird was at the forefront of DNA testing as part of a team that pioneered identification through DNA and then offered it commercially. In 1987, he was the first DNA expert to testify in a U.S. court case and has since testified in hundreds of court cases involving DNA and forensics In 2007, Dr. Baird was appointed by the courts as the DNA expert in the paternity case involving Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn. Dr. Baird has written and published numerous articles and manuscripts in the field of DNA technology, paternity testing, and forensics. Dr. Baird has provided DNA expert consultation in such notable cases as the O.J. Simpson trial and the Anna Nicole Smith paternity case, and has been interviewed on Larry King Live, Nancy Grace, Court TV and many others.

We promise 100 percent accurate results.

An additional value that comes with DDC's DNA tests is our DualProcess™, which ensures error-free testing. All samples we receive are divided into two batches for independent testing by separate technical teams. They carefully record each step to ensure that samples are properly identified and tracked throughout. At the end of the process, one of our laboratory directors reviews the raw and analyzed data produced by both teams, checking to see if the results match. The DualProcess™ eliminates common laboratory mistakes and assures clients of accurate, reliable results.
