Location Map
In Latham, New York, TestMark DNA collects samples in Newton Plaza, the shopping plaza at 595 New Loudon Road (US Route 9) in the Town of Colonie. Siena University is a little over half a mile down Loudon Road.
DNA testing in Latham, New York takes place at a unit in Newton Plaza, the shopping plaza at 595 New Loudon Road where TestMark DNA has its collection site. The plaza is on the east side of Loudon Road, which runs as US Route 9 through the Town of Colonie. A bank branch and a shipping store give the same 595 address, so the number identifies the plaza as a whole rather than a single storefront. Siena University's campus, at 515 Loudon Road, is a little over half a mile down the same road.
Two exits on the Adirondack Northway (I-87) serve this stretch of Route 9. Exit 5, signed for Latham and NY 155 East, is roughly a mile and a half from the plaza, and Exit 6 is signed for NY 2 East and NY 7 West toward Schenectady and Watervliet. The University at Albany's main campus is on Washington Avenue in Albany.
In Latham, TestMark DNA is in Newton Plaza at 595 New Loudon Road, on Route 9.
DNA testing requirements in New York
New York is the one state where a DNA test cannot simply be self-ordered. Under New York State Department of Health rules, a paternity, maternity or other relationship test for a New York resident must be ordered by an authorized person, which means a licensed physician, an attorney or a court. Samples also have to be collected in person at an approved New York facility by a trained collector rather than taken at home. Paternity itself can be established by both parents signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity, or by an order of the Family Court under Family Court Act section 418, which can direct genetic testing. Because of the ordering requirement, New York residents should call before making any arrangements so we can confirm what your situation needs and how to obtain the order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a DNA paternity test in Latham, New York?
TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 595 New Loudon Rd, Latham, New York 12110. 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 New York?
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 Latham?
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.
