Performing Ninalia NIPT: practical information
1. Healthcare provider and expectant parent
During a consultation and based on your medical data, your healthcare provider will prescribe a Ninalia NIPT test and ask you to sign an informed consent form, which is mandatory for any genetic test.
With their guidance, you will need to choose between four options:
- Ninalia 3 (NIPT): Trisomies 21, 18 and 13
- Ninalia 5 (NIPT): Trisomies 21, 18 and 13 + fetal gender determination + sex chromosomes aneuploidies
- Ninalia Genomewide (NIPT): all autosomes + chromosomal imbalance greater than 7Mb
- Ninalia Genomewide Complete (NIPT): all autosomes + chromosomal imbalance greater than 7Mb + sex chromosomes aneuploidies + foetal gender determination
The blood sample can be collected directly at your physician’s office or by a Eurofins Biomnis laboratory partner.
2. Eurofins Biomnis laboratory
Your healthcare provider will send your sample to Eurofins Biomnis for them to perform the test.
After five business days, Eurofins Biomnis will report the results directly to the prescribing healthcare provider (in accordance with the code of public health governing the performance of genetic tests).
3. Healthcare provider
Your healthcare provider will show and explain the results to you and discuss the appropriate actions to take, if any.
