Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a simple, low-risk screening test available to women who are at least 10 weeks pregnant.
It involves a blood test that analyses cell-free DNA present in the mother's bloodstream.
We use Percept by VCGS—a genome-wide NIPT that screens for conditions across all 23 pairs of chromosomes. Unlike standard NIPT options that only screen for common conditions such as Trisomy 21, Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13, and sex chromosome abnormalities, Percept provides broader screening coverage.
It's important to note that NIPT is a Screening Test, not a diagnostic one.
We offer two convenient NIPT options to suite your pregnancy care needs.
