WHAT IS NIPT?
Learn more about our NIPT tests
NIPT is Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing and is also known as cell-free fetal DNA testing (cffDNA). DNA from the placenta is released into the maternal bloodstream.
A small amount of blood is drawn from the mother and the DNA is tested to see if there is an expected amount of chromosomal material.
THE TESTS
There are four available tests, VisibiliT™, MaterniT21®, MaterniT21® PLUS and MaterniT™ GENOME. Before the test, you will receive counselling to ensure that you are well informed about, and prepared for, the test process and its potential outcomes.
A blood sample will then be taken and sent to Sequenom Laboratories in San Diego, California. Within 7–9 calendar days your results will be sent back to Sequenca, who will then advise your referring health practitioner of your result.
