Location Map
TestMark DNA schedules chain-of-custody DNA collections in Burlington, NC at 2585 S Church St, 27215, inside a pharmacy on the northeast corner of South Church Street and Shadowbrook Drive. From I-40/85, take Exit 141 and follow Huffman Mill Road north to South Church Street (US 70).
Where Huffman Mill Road reaches South Church Street (US 70) and continues as Shadowbrook Drive, this collection site operates inside a pharmacy on the northeast corner of the intersection. The corner sits in the shopping district of west Burlington, with retail centers clustered around the same crossing. Drivers on Interstate 40/85 take Exit 141 and follow Huffman Mill Road north until it meets South Church Street. In the other direction from the interchange, Huffman Mill Road runs south to Cone Health Alamance Regional, the hospital that serves Alamance County, so the hospital and this corner sit on the same road. Look for the site at 2585 S Church St, and bring the chain-of-custody paperwork TestMark DNA sends once your collection is scheduled.
Paternity cases that begin with North Carolina Child Support Services are handled for Alamance County from 319 N. Graham-Hopedale Road, Suite D, in Burlington. That office locates parents, establishes paternity and sets support orders, though it does not take up custody or visitation. When a case is in court instead, civil matters other than marriages are heard at the Alamance County Historical Courthouse on Court Square in Graham, while criminal cases go to the separate J.B. Allen, Jr. Criminal Courthouse. Have your case number ready when you call TestMark DNA so the collection paperwork matches the right file.

DNA testing requirements in North Carolina
North Carolina does not require a prescription or doctor's order for a DNA paternity test. Under N.C.G.S. section 49-14, paternity of a child born out of wedlock may be established by civil action any time before the child's eighteenth birthday, and proof must be by clear, cogent and convincing evidence. Genetic testing meets that standard when it shows a probability of parentage of 97 percent or higher. An affidavit of parentage may be set aside after 60 days only on grounds such as fraud, duress, mutual mistake or excusable neglect, together with testing showing the signer is not the biological father. For a result to be used in court, the test has to be performed by an accredited laboratory with a completed chain-of-custody form, which means samples are collected at a certified site and everyone tested shows government ID. A home kit gives you a private answer but is not accepted for child support, custody or a birth certificate change. Call and we will confirm which test your situation needs.

TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 2585 S Church St, Burlington, North Carolina 27215. We schedule chain-of-custody (legal) collections here for you, and results are typically returned in 3 to 5 business days.
Do I need a doctor's order or court order for DNA testing in North Carolina?
A doctor's order is generally not required. However, if you are a New York State resident, a prescription, court order, or ordering by other authorized persons is required by state law for all DNA identity or relationship tests.
Can DNA testing be done without the mother present?
Yes. A DNA paternity test can be performed without a sample from the child's biological mother. Including the mother's sample is preferred when possible as it improves accuracy.
How long do DNA test results take near Burlington?
Results for a standard DNA paternity test are typically returned within 3 to 5 business days from when all samples are received at the laboratory.
Is DNA testing confidential?
Yes. All samples are packaged in tamper-proof bags and processed at an accredited laboratory with restricted access. Results are shared only with authorized individuals and are never released over the phone.
What type of sample is collected for a DNA test?
The standard sample is a buccal swab - a cotton swab rubbed gently inside the inner cheek. It is painless, non-invasive, and provides the same accuracy as a blood sample.
Will DNA test results be accepted in court?
Results from a legal DNA paternity test performed at an accredited facility may be accepted in court, provided the chain-of-custody form was completed according to laboratory guidelines. Non-legal test results are not intended for court use.
Is DNA paternity testing covered by health insurance?
DNA paternity testing is considered a non-medical test and is not covered by health insurance plans.
