Simple

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.
