The new generation of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), available from 10 weeks of gestation
neoBona tests for trisomies, fetal sex, and aneuploidies. A trisomy is a chromosomal disorder characterized by an additional chromosome, so a person could have 47 instead of 46. Down syndrome, Edward syndrome and Patau syndrome are the most common forms of trisomy.
Benefits of neoBona for pregnant women
It can be done on twin pregnancies and IVF clients. More remarkable is the fact that it is the only test in the world that can be done with a fetal fraction of 1% making it 4 times more sensitive than the closest NIPT for trisomies.
