Why take a DNA test from Polynesia?


Residents of Polynesia (and other Pacific islands) often face logistical challenges when trying to carry out a DNA test. The main obstacles include:


  • Long delivery times for DNA kits from Europe or the U.S.

  • High and sometimes unpredictable shipping costs

  • Customs complications

  • No local collection points


To address these issues, infotestadn.com offers an autonomous method: you create your own kit, follow the instructions, and send your samples directly to the lab.


No kit shipped: a faster and simpler solution


Unlike other providers, we do not ship prepaid kits to Polynesia. This approach avoids logistical costs and saves precious time.


We provide detailed instructions for:


  • Collecting the saliva sample yourself

  • Using locally available materials (cotton swabs, paper envelopes, etc.)

  • Packaging and sending the samples to the lab


How to collect a saliva sample yourself


Follow these steps:


  • Use a clean cotton swab (cosmetic or medical type).

  • Rub the inside of each cheek for 30 seconds.

  • Let it air dry for about 30 minutes.

  • Place each sample in an individual paper envelope (do not use plastic).

  • Write on each envelope: name, date of collection, presumed relationship (e.g., father, child).

  • Send everything via tracked international mail to the lab address provided at the time of order.


What other types of samples can be used?


When a cheek swab is not possible, other sources of DNA may be used:


  • Hair with root (follicle)

  • Cut fingernails

  • Used tissues

  • Used cotton swabs

  • Toothbrushes

  • Pacifiers

  • Razors…


Each case is evaluated by the laboratory to determine if the sample is usable.


What DNA tests are available?


infotestadn.com offers a wide range of tests to meet personal or family needs:


  • Paternity test (results in 5 to 7 business days)

  • Sibling test / Half-sibling test

  • Ancestry test (ethnic origins)

  • Indirect kinship test (grandparents, uncles/aunts)

  • Maternity test (less common)


Results are delivered by email, along with a clear and detailed report.


What is a paternity test?


A DNA paternity test is a genetic analysis used to determine whether a man is the biological father of a child. It compares the child’s DNA profile with that of the alleged father to look for genetic matches.


Every person inherits half of their DNA from their mother and the other half from their father, which allows for a reliable verification with up to 99.999% certainty when paternity is confirmed.

This test can be performed for personal, legal, or administrative reasons (inheritance, legal recognition, etc.). It is often a key step in important family matters.


What are the benefits of making your own kit?


  • Time-saving: no need to wait for a kit to arrive

  • Cost-effective: no international shipping fees

  • Flexible: collect samples whenever you choose

  • Fast: priority processing once samples arrive

  • Discreet: the entire process is confidential


Once your order is confirmed, you’ll receive a link with full instructions. You can order your test directly here:
