Blood Testing

This is a Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) which analyses cell-free DNA circulating in the pregnant mother's blood.

​

It is a new option in prenatal screening for Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and other common fetal chromosomal conditions (trisomies 18 and 13).

​

Please see 'About Us' 'Blood taking' for details

We also offer a wide range of screening tests to women in pregnancy : Harmony NIPT , Paternity testing from 9 weeks, NT combined Test and testing for Group B Strep.

​

Patients having this test in the Colchester Clinic will take the sample after the test and post it in Royal Mail. The sample will be in a protective envelope and be postage paid and ready addressed.
