DNA Testing for Michigan Families, Attorneys & Immigration Cases.
Specimens are collected in person by NorthStar personnel and analyzed by AABB-accredited partner laboratories. Start by choosing the path that matches your situation — a coordinator confirms the right test before you pay anything.
Which type of DNA test do you need?
Each path has its own page with tests, pricing links, and requirements. Not sure? Call us — we'll walk you through it in a few minutes.

Informational / peace-of-mind
Private, confidential answers using the same partner-lab process. In-person collection; not admissible in court.
- Personal knowledge only
- In-person NorthStar collection

Prenatal DNA
SneakPeek Clinical early gender DNA testing from six weeks, plus NIPT coordination. In-person maternal blood collection.

- Mobile collection across Michigan
Legal vs. informational — which one do you need?
Both use the same AABB-accredited partner laboratory. The difference is the identity verification and documentation around the collection.

Forensic casework & non-standard samples.
For attorneys, investigators, and law enforcement: DNA from unconventional sample types, postmortem identification, and reference profiling.
- Non-standard samples: hair, toothbrush, cigarette butts, blood stains.
- Postmortem identification & remains-of-decedent testing.
- Reference profiling for open cases and cold-case review.
- Expert witness affidavits and testimony available on request.
Sample viability varies by condition and age. Case review is free — we confirm whether a sample can be tested before any order is placed.
Michigan families & attorneys trust our DNA program.
“The chain-of-custody documentation was flawless. Our paternity result was admitted without objection at the Saginaw County hearing.”
“They coordinated the entire USCIS collection with the embassy in Nairobi. Sealed results arrived exactly when promised — our petition moved forward without delay.”
“Compassionate, private, and clear. I finally have the answer I needed for my family — handled with zero judgment.”
“Our sibling DNA test needed careful coordination — three siblings in two cities. The team handled it end to end and the probate court accepted the result immediately.”
“The grandparent DNA option gave our family answers when the alleged father wasn't available. Professional, sensitive, and legally airtight.”
Names and identifying details modified where required to protect client confidentiality.
Not all DNA testing is built the same.
See how NorthStar's in-person, chain-of-custody collection process compares to self-collected mail-in kits and generic labs.
"Varies" means some providers meet the standard and others don't — always verify before you book.
