The test is intended for all pregnant women, regardless of the type of pregnancy. It is indicated for single, twin (both monochorionic and dichorionic), including those obtained through medically assisted procreation techniques (PMA), both homologous and heterologous (male, female or double heterologous). The test is useful for monitoring the health and development of the fetus, offering an accurate assessment in all these situations.
Who is the test for?
At how many weeks can it be performed?
The test can be performed starting from the 10th week of pregnancy. At this gestational age, fetal DNA is sufficiently present in the maternal blood, allowing for accurate analysis without risks for the mother or the fetus.
How is the test performed?
The test is performed through a simple maternal blood sample, which is then analyzed to detect circulating fetal DNA. This process does not involve any risk for the mother or the fetus, being non-invasive and completely safe.
Why choose the Prequel test?
The Prequel NIPT test is an ideal choice for pregnancy monitoring for several reasons:
• Reading depth: The Prequel NIPT test guarantees a high reading depth, which allows accurate detection even in the case of low fetal fractions.
• % of repeat sampling: The Prequel NIPT test has an extremely low percentage of need for repetition (redrawing), thanks to the reliability of its results.
• Minimum fetal fraction: The test is able to detect minimum fetal fractions starting from the 10th week of pregnancy, offering precise diagnostics even in pregnancies with low fetal fraction.
• Advanced technology: Prequel NIPT uses the most advanced technologies for fetal DNA analysis, which guarantee high quality and precise results.
• Sample stability: Thanks to the specially designed tube (Cell3™ Preserver), the maternal blood sample maintains optimal stability during transport and analysis for at least 10 days, avoiding contamination or errors.
• Certified process: The Prequel NIPT test follows a certified process that complies with international quality standards, ensuring the reliability of the results at every stage, from sample collection to reporting.
• TAT (Turnaround Time): The response time (TAT) is rapid, with results available in a short time, providing peace of mind to the pregnant woman in good time.
• Non-invasive screening test: Prequel NIPT is a non-invasive screening test, which does not pose any risk to the mother or the fetus, as it is based on a simple blood draw.
