iGene® NIPT is suitable for pregnant mothers who are at 10 weeks of gestation and above. iGene® NIPT requires a minimum of 10 ml of maternal blood sample.
How does iGene® NIPT work
As the baby develops, cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) enter the mother's bloodstream via the placenta.
iGene® NIPT involves drawing a sample of maternal blood, which is then sent to our laboratory for analysis.
iGene® NIPT is powered by BGI Technology
