Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing
Clinical Capabilities
Prenatal diagnostic tests carry up to a 1.5% risk of miscarriage. Non-invasive preclinical testing (NIPT) can provide parents with a risk rating before diagnostic tests are performed. PRENITA™ NIPT detects a range of aneuploidies and microdeletions from as early as 10 weeks. Speak to your health care provider to arrange your PRENITA™ NIPT.

PRENITA™ NIPT Reduces Risk
Diagnostic prenatal tests, such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, are highly accurate but carry a 0.5 – 1.5 % risk of miscarriage. While maternal screening serum tests negate this risk, they typically carry a 5% chance of false-positive results.
PRENITA™ NIPT combines the merits of both techniques by negating the risk of miscarriage and reducing the chance of false-positive results.
With greater sensitivity and specificity of PRENITA™ NIPT, it is expected that the number of women undergoing unnecessary invasive testing will be reduced.
PRENITA™ NIPT Screening
PRENITA™ NIPT is the most advanced, non-invasive prenatal screening test. With just 10 ml of maternal blood, we can analyse every chromosome to check for genetic conditions that could affect your baby’s health.
Following analysis, PRENITA™ NIPT provides a genetic score for the conditions tested:
- Low risk: Unlikely that the baby is affected by the tested genetic conditions
- High risk: Increased risk that the baby has a genetic condition – further testing required to confirm.
The benefits of PRENITA™ NIPT
There are several benefits of choosing PRENITA™ NIPT over other prenatal screening techniques, including:
✓ Early detection at 10 weeks
✓ Reduced risk of false positives
✓ Increased sensitivity and specificity
✓ Short turnaround time of 10 days
✓ Information on every chromosome
REPROCELL) also offer follow-up services to PRENITA™ NIPT, including personalized genetic counselling and confirmatory tests for high risk pregnancies.
Is PRENITA™ NIPT right for me?
PRENITA™ NIPT can be offered to any expectant mother who wants information on the genetic condition of her baby, and is recommended to expectant mothers with:
✓ Advanced maternal age
✓ Positive maternal serum screen
✓ Abnormal ultrasound findings
✓ Positive personal or family history
