I heard that the paternity test needs a sample, we saw on TV someone took the hair picked up on the ground to do the identification, but we want to choose the nail and oral swab, please ask the nail and oral swab which sample to do the paternity test is better?

Expert answer, the hair picked up on the ground is not directly to do paternity test Oh, hair samples collected is required with hair follicles, so as to test the dna information, and the hair picked up on the ground many may not have hair follicles, as for the collection of other samples specific can refer to the following Oh.

Special samples of nails.

1. according to the general method of cutting the fingernails of the identified person (nail free edge), placed on a clean paper.

2. The nails of the appraisee will be cut according to different sources, wrapped with clean paper and placed in different small envelopes, with the words father, son, mother, etc. marked on the surface of the envelope.
