Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Yourgene provides four complementary screening solutions to meet more of our lab customers’, clinicians’ and pregnant women’s needs across different international locations.

The IONA® Nx NIPT Workflow is a CE-marked in vitro diagnostic (IVD) for prenatal screening which enables clinical laboratories around the world to establish their own quality assured non-invasive prenatal screening service. This test is registered as a regulated IVD in many different regions. Yourgene Genomic Services use the IONA® Nx NIPT Workflow in our Manchester laboratory to offer a quality NIPT testing service.

The Yourgene Nx NIPT Workflow is a product which is available for life science or human diagnostics research. Users can validate their own Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) to measure or detect one or more analytes.

The IONA® test was the first CE-marked IVD for prenatal screening which also allows clinical laboratories to establish their own quality assured non-invasive prenatal screening service. The IONA® test is registered as a regulated IVD in many different regions.

The Sageâ„¢ Prenatal Screen is available in regions where a regulated NIPT is not required for trisomy screening. Sageâ„¢ provides highly accurate screening results for a greater clinical depth of chromosomal conditions including trisomies, sex chromosomal aneuploidies, autosomal aneuploidies and some select microdeletions
