NIPT & Blood Tests

NIPT & Blood Tests

Extra reassurance, backed by science. Our non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) and range of pregnancy blood tests give you clear, reliable information about your baby's health and development — from as early as 10 weeks.

Overview

What is NIPT?

NIPT is a simple blood test taken from mum, with no risk to your baby. It screens for the most common chromosomal conditions — Down's syndrome (T21), Edwards' syndrome (T18) and Patau's syndrome (T13) — and can also reveal your baby's sex from 10 weeks, earlier than an ultrasound gender scan.

We offer NIPT across four package levels (NIPT 1 to NIPT 4), so you can choose the level of screening that's right for you. All tests are carried out in a calm, private setting by our experienced team, and we'll always take the time to talk you through what your results mean.

Please note: NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic one — your sonographer will explain what that means and what any result would involve. Package details, turnaround times and prices are being finalised — TODO.
