Semen Detection Test
Price: $129
Timeframe: 10 to 15 working days
A semen detection test is quick and simply test that will enable you to confirm the presence of semen. Your results will be ready in just 10 to 15 working days from the moment we receive your samples. Our semen detection test starts from $129.
Note: This test does not require a kit. Once we confirm your order, you will be sent a confirmation email with a form attached. The form needs to printed, filled out and returned with your sample. Ensure to place the sample to be tested in a paper envelope. If you plan sending in more than 1 sample, contact us for a quote.
Science: How The Test Works
The test is carried out using lateral flow immunochromatographic strips that use two anti-human semenogelin monoclonal antibodies in a lateral flow format to detect the presence of semenogelin. Semenogelin is a protein produced by the seminal vesicles and is responsible for the coagulum associated with ejaculate.
Further DNA Testing for Comparison
A semen identification test will only confirm whether the sample sent in contains semen. It is not a DNA test. In order to confirm the identity of the donor, you can proceed with further testing by sending us a comparison DNA sample collected using a mouth swab. We can then carry out a DNA verification test with the semen sample sent for detection testing and compare the DNA profile with that extracted from the mouth swabs. This is all done via actual DNA testing whereby we will extract the DNA profiles from both samples and test them to confirm a match. We suggest you read up more about our infidelity DNA testing services (DNA detection services) by visiting this page.
Notes:
• It is important to keep in mind that we will first need to carry out a DNA verification test – not all semen samples contain DNA or enough/viable DNA for a comparison test.
• The samples for this test cannot be used for legal purposes or presented in a court of law as they have been verified.
• An infidelity DNA test using semen takes an extra 13 working days in addition to the 10 to 15 working days required for the semen detection test.
Using Online Semen Detection Kits
Online home semen detection kits are available – these allow you to confirm the presence of semen. Once you have located the stain, you will then need to use a special solution provided in your kit that will change colour when a certain protein found in semen is detected in the stained garment. These type of home kits, have a chance of giving you a false positive result and therefore, we strongly recommend a laboratory based semen detection test to get accurate and reliable results.
Do You Suspect That Someone Is Taking Drugs?
International Biosciences also provides drug testing kits which can be purchased online and mailed directly to you. The Hair Follicle Drug test only requires a head or body hair sample and tests for a variety of illegal drugs and substances!
