Prenatal NIPT Blood Tests

Find out the gender or check the genetic health of your baby during pregnancy

What are Prenatal Blood Tests?

NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) blood tests are safe and non-Invasive screening tests that use DNA found in your blood to detect chromosomal anomalies in your baby, and their gender, from the earliest weeks of your pregnancy.

Who are they suitable for?

Suitable for women of all ages, of at least 10 weeks of gestation (at the time of their blood draw appointment), who have had their pregnancy type (single or twin) previously confirmed by an ultrasound scan. The pregnancy can be naturally conceived or through IVF. 

This is the safest and easiest way to find out the gender or check the genetic health of your baby during pregnancy, with FREE genetic counselling provided if you receive a positive result for any health condition. We provide a specialised testing kit to take with you to your appointment and a FREE pre-consultation on Karyo, Karyo Plus, and Complete Plus Tests.

Why should I take an NIPT test?

Our NIPT tests detect foetal abnormalities at a very early stage, from week 10 of pregnancy, with a high degree of accuracy and a low false-positive rate.

Only the equivalent of the PrenatalSAFE 3 test is available on the NHS, and even then only for at-risk mothers.

Our range of tests is available to all, and offers a comprehensive choice so you can make an informed decision about the health concerns you want to know about.

How do the NIPT tests work?

Our genetic health tests are called NIPT tests, or Non-Invasive Prenatal Tests. An NIPT is a blood test taken from the mother during pregnancy, using state of the art DNA technology to check whether the baby has high risks of certain chromosomal health conditions. 

During pregnancy the placenta sheds cell free DNA (cfDNA) into the mother’s bloodstream. This means that the mother’s blood continues a mixture of your own DNA, and that of your baby’s placenta.

By extracting and evaluating the cfDNA in your blood, we can identify the risk to your baby of a range of health conditions and diseases.

These tests are not suitable for women who have:

  • Ongoing malignant tumour conditions
  • Previous bone marrow or organ transplant, or stem cell therapy
  • Recent blood transfusion (within the last 4 months)
  • Mother affected by trisomy 21 or certain balanced translocation or mosaicism of T21, T18 or T13
  • Immunotherapy (other than those required for IVF treatment (e.g. intravenous immunoglobulin – IVIg)
  • Triplets or higher-order pregnancies
