You may have seen paternity testing on television; a man in a black turtleneck proclaiming “YOU ARE (NOT) THE FATHER!” and then an on-air fight ensues for our viewing pleasure. However, in reality, paternity testing in Massachusetts isn’t quite so melodramatic. It’s actually quite simple: a paternity test in Massachusetts is a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid which if found in the nucleus of a cell that holds one’s genetic information) test that is used to determine if a man is biologically the father of a child. Each person inherits a distinctive set of DNA from each of their biological parents. So, in the Massachusetts lab, one would need to be able to match a sequence of DNA from the alleged father with that of the babying order to determine if he is indeed going to be a daddy. Determining the biological father of a child is important for many reasons, including parental rights, citizenship, social benefits, immigration, adoption and other instances where legal proof of blood relation is required by Massachusetts State.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY DNA PATERNITY TEST RESULTS IN MASSACHUSETTS?
Veritas Lab of Massachusetts provides DNA Paternity test results for Massachusetts residents within 3 to 5 days.
After specimens from both parties have been collected, Massachusetts Veritas Lab can undergo its procedure to determine the biological father.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF LEGAL DNA PATERNITY TESTING IN MASSACHUSETTS?
The process of DNA Paternity Testing in Massachusetts is simple.
- First, skin cells samples are collected from the father.
- A soft cotton swab is placed within the mouth of the father. After rubbing his mouth with the swab, the skin cells will be collected. This helps in deciding if the father’s DNA matches the child’s DNA. Massachusetts Veritas Labs’ professional assistant will rub the swab in the cheeks of both the father and the child. If there are additional children that need to be tested, additional fees will apply.
- Veritas Lab can determine which part of the child’s DNA belong to its mother if the mother decides to participate in the testing.
- Next, we analyze the father’s DNA to decide which of his genetic markers are congruent to the child.
- This means that we compare the child’s DNA to the father’s DNA to see if there is a potential fit genetically.
- Unlike our competitors who search for 16 genetic markers, Veritas Labs examines 20 genetic markers in Massachusetts.
- Thus, making it easier to determine the probability of a biological father within the test.
TYPES OF DNA TESTS OFFERED IN MASSACHUSETTS
Veritas Lab of Massachusetts provides two forms of paternity tests:
-
Chain of Custody DNA Paternity Test in Massachusetts: This test is primarily used for legal reasons in Massachusetts. The results from this test displays the name of the biological father of the child.
- Recommended use of DNA Testing in Massachusetts: Used for seeking child custody, child support, medical/veteran benefits, adoption, immigration, etc.
-
Basic DNA Paternity Test in Massachusetts: Solely used to determine the biological father. However, this test cannot be used for legal evidence. This is because the names of the tested parties will not be stated in the results.
- Recommended use of DNA Testing in Massachusetts: A quick and effective way to determine the biological father without displaying the names of the people involved with the test.
There are a few types of prenatalpaternity testing in Massachusetts: Chronic Villus Sampling (CVS) Amniocentesis (an Amniotic Fluid Test) and the Non-Invasive Paternity test. CVS, typically used to detect Down syndrome or other genetic disorders, is a procedure that produces a karyotype, a picture of a fetus’ chromosomes, takes samples from the placenta. Similarly, Amniocentesis takes a karyotype from the amniotic fluid, or, the fluid that surrounds the baby in the womb (this is the “water” that breaks when women go into labor). However these two methods are extremely invasive and have been known to cause miscarriages. However, a non-invasive paternity test, like the one provided from Veritas Lab’s state-of-the-art technology, is a safe procedure that takes prenatal DNA samples in Massachusetts from the mother’s blood which has fetal DNA circulating throughout. Using Veritas Lab Corp’s microarray SNP technology, it is easy to analyze the DNA of the child and the alleged father. This type of testing, exclusively offered from Veritas Lab Corp of Massachusetts, combines risk-free blood collection and state-of-the-art SNP microarray technology is the best option for prenatal testing. Similarly, for instances where legal proof of blood relation is necessary for inheritance, estates, and wills are required, we also provide post-mortem DNA testing.
Acugen Lab’s paternity is 99.9% accurate and delivers the fastest results of any other testing lab. Even more, we offer pre-natal DNA testing that can be performed before 10 weeks of pregnancy and we do not require a follow-up test after birth. No other lab in the country offers this convenience.
However, sometimes a father isn’t keen on the idea of giving blood for a paternity test. Luckily, Acugen Labs understands that this isn’t the easiest topic of conversation. We now offer “self-knowledge” testing where the identity of all parties is kept anonymous. Furthermore, to make it easier on our customers, we can use samples of DNA ranging from blood and hair to toothbrushes and cigarette butts. With the impeccable customer service that Acugen Labs provides, we work around the clock to give guidance and support until your results are delivered to you. We highly recommend, first, that you talk with one of our knowledgeable representatives in order to receive the test that’s right for you and your needs.
Acugen Labs are nationally accredited FDA and AABB laboratories and are licensed to administer court-admissible DNA testing is accepted in courts throughout North America as legal evidence of paternity or non-paternity. Packages range from the standard paternity and maternity testing to sibling-ship, avuncular, and grand-paternity testing. Our legally admissible is accepted in courts throughout North America as legal evidence of paternity or non-paternity. If the legal testing option is chosen, a “chain-of-custody” sample collection process is followed during sample collection to ensure proper witnessing and fingerprinting of the parties involved in the test. We highly recommend that you consult with one of our highly trained representatives before deciding which test is best for you.

If you however, do not know which drug or panel you want to test for there are many different opinions to pick from. When it comes to employers, they believe that the five panel is the best option because it’s the most inexpensive. While it is our least priced panel, it is also the panel with the least drugs tested. Here at Veritas we recommend that employers test for the ten panel. The cost is not much more from that of a five panel and it will cover twice the number of drugs in the five panel including prescription pills which are harder to visibly detect than the others. It is also easier to detect a user of any of the drugs being tested in the five panel. In the ten panel, the prescription panels being tested are odorless and not conspicuous while consuming therefore harder to suspect.
For individuals seeking to help their loved ones, there are many different options to test for and every situation is different. For you we recommend that you call our toll-free number at 888-398-0059 to discuss with one of experts which panel may fit you the best for your urine drug test.

Q: What is methamphetamine d and l isomer testing?
A: Methamphetamine is available in two forms: “d” and “l.” These compounds are stereoisomers (chemical mirror images). They have exactly same chemical formula and similar chemical properties. The “d” form is a prescription stimulant and appetite suppressant. The “l” form is available over-the-counter as the active ingredient of the Vick’s inhaler and is a metabolite of certain prescription medications. Both “d” and “l” test positive by both immunoassay and most GC/MS assays.
Q: What do the percentages mean in Massachusetts methamphetamine d and l isomer test results?
A: In order to help analyze and determine whether a positive for methamphetamine may be due to an illegal source, it is helpful to determine the percentage of “d” isomer. For example, following an individual’s use of Vick’s Vapor Inhaler, the expected result would be 100% “l” methamphetamine. However, there is a possibility that some trace amounts of “d” isomer may be present in the quantitative analysis. Laboratory guidelines have been established to accept for the trace and presence of the “d” isomer. If the laboratory report indicates that more than 80% “l” methamphetamine, the results or analysis are consistent with Vick’s Vapor Inhaler use. If the laboratory reports more than 20% “d” methamphetamine present, the result indicates the use of “d” methamphetamine other than the inhaler. Illegally produced methamphetamine and amphetamine may contain mixtures of “d” and “l” isomers. Detect Lab always use a medical review officer (MRO) to review all non-negative test results.
Q: What is the drug MDMA/Ecstasy?
A: Ecstasy is a commonly used as the street-name for MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine). MDMA is an illegal drug with characteristics of both stimulants and hallucinogens which is very popular in the night club scene. MDMA is being used in almost all night dance parties, now referred to as “raves”. In 1985, the US Drug Enforcement Administration moved the drug to Schedule 1 status with absolutely no acceptance to medical use.
Q: Why isn't MDMA detected in my standard amphetamine screen?
A: MDMA has a synthetic amphetamine structure and does cross-react with other amphetamine assays. However, the cut-offs established for amphetamine by the government do not pick up concentrations of MDMA in urine that are typically there following exposure. To enable detection of MDMA following normal exposures, Veritas Labs uses reagents developed specifically for MDMA and or ecstasy detection.
Q: What is urine specimen validity testing in Massachusetts?
A: Specimen validity testing (SVT) in Massachusetts is performed on a urine drug testing specimen to detect substitution, adulteration, or dilution. See below for explanation of such terms.
Substitution – Replacement of a urine drug testing specimen in Massachusetts that does not have characteristic of normal human urine. Usually, this could be water or water with salt in it and is identified by extreme creatinine and specific gravity results.
Adulteration – Introducing a substance to a urine drug testing specimen after it has been collected. The product added is designed to mask or destroy the presence of the drug or the drug metabolites that the urine drug testing specimen may contain. An adulterant product may be added with the intention of masking the testing reagents.
Dilution – Usually it is the result of ingestion of large amounts of water typically just before the urine drug testing collection takes place or adding water to the urine drug testing sample once collected. Specimens meeting dilute specifications typically are not considered questionable donations, however we recommend employers let their employees know not to consume much water before a urine drug testing collection to prevent this scenario.
Q: Does the Veritas conduct SVT before screening for drugs?
A: No, specimen validity testing is performed at the same time of the initial urine drug test. Depending upon the urine drug screen and the specimen validity results, the laboratory will release either report
- Both the drug screen and the specimen validity urine test results.
- The specimen validity test results only.
- The urine drug screen results only.
Q: Is the nitrite test threshold based on body functions, or does it allow for water or food ingestions with high nitrates, or infections.
A: The nitrite threshold level established by the Federal Government is 500ug/mL. This is based on the level at which a urine drug screen may be somewhat impacted by this adulterant and by which no normal physiological level has been detected.
Q: How would urine drug test be evaluated when nitrates are 490 ng/mL in Massachusetts?
A: The nitrite result would be negative, as this level would not interfere with Veritas’s urine testing process. The urine drug tests ordered would be conducted and reported following standard operating procedures.

Why Drug Test in Massachusetts?
Whether you’re an Massachusetts business owner that wants to be sure that your employees are in an unaltered state of mind on the job or an individual concerned about a loved one’s well-being, a drug test can help ease your anxieties. Administering drug tests in Massachusetts regularly can help the individual of concern to stray away from illicit activities, can help to identify drug use and/or dependency, and can ensure the safety of that individual and those around them. Additionally, drug testing can be used in companies, courtrooms, and divorcing spouses. However, there are many factors to consider when scheduling a drug test; you must be sure that you choose an accredited laboratory that protects not only your employees or the individual of concern, but yourself as well.
How Many Types in Massachusetts of Drug Tests Are There?
There are a few types of drug tests available in Massachusetts. The most common, an Massachusetts urine drug test, requires a urine sample from the test subject in order to determine which drugs are in their system. A urine drug test in Massachusetts can detect a number of drugs in one’s system, however, some drugs may have different time spans when they’re able to be detected in one’s urine. For example, THC, or, more commonly known as Marijuana, can be detected by a urine test for up to 80 days after consumption. On the other hand, Cocaine can only be detected from 2-4 days after consumption. The 14-panel urine test, the highest amount of panels that Veritas Labs offers, detects Cocaine, Marijuana (THC), Opiates, Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Phencyclidine, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, Methadone, Tricyclic Antidepressants, Oxycodone, Propoxyphene, Buprenorphine, and Ethanol.
Veritas Labs’ advanced technology offers our clients a Urine and Hair Follicle EtG (Ethylglucuronide) test. An EtG test now allows you to test id someone is under the influence of alcohol for up to after 80 hours after consumption. This test, which allows you to catch someone lying about drinking long after the slurred speech and stench of booze has subsided, is 5-8 times stronger than alcohol tests offered by other labs.
Another option for drug testing in Massachusetts is a hair follicle drug test, which uses about 1-1/2 inches of hair which is about 3 months’ growth. In order for a hair follicle test to show positive, one would have to consume the given drug 3 times or more within the window of the test. However, a hair follicle test cannot detect drug use within 4-10 days after consumption. Veritas labs is pleased to offer 5-14 panel hair follicle test, performed by only the most experienced and educated scientists in the field. Our 14 Panel Drug Tests screen for Cocaine, Marijuana, Opiates, Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Phencyclidine, Benzodiapines, Barbiturates, Methadone, Oxycodone, Propoxyphene, Buprenorphine, and MDMA.
Which Type of Drug Test Should I Get in Massachusetts?
The type of drug test depends on what your needs are. A urine test is great for random drug testing, however, it can only detect the presence of drugs in one’s system for a limited amount of time and it can be easy for a person to “detox” before a regularly scheduled drug test. However, you can order a hair follicle test to follow up a urine test in order to verify the results. Further, a hair follicle test is the best method to detect repeat drug offenders and can help deter current employees from violating drug-free workplace policies.
