Prenatal SafeKaryo Plus
£800.00
Prenatalsafe® NIPT is a non-invasive prenatal test that enables the analysis of fetal genetic material from a
routine blood sample taken from the mother. Depending on the test chosen, it allows for the testing of aneuploidies, microdeletion syndromes and single gene disorders.
- IT'S SIMPLE
A simple blood sample at 10+ week of pregnancy, from which the circulating fetal DNA is analysed. - IT'S RELIABLE
99.9% sensitivity for trisomy 21,18 13 (Pertile et al., 2021). - IT'S SAFE
It is a non-invasive test, no risk to the fetus or the mother. - IT'S SENSITIVE
It allows detecting chromosomal aneuploidies even at low quantities of fetal DNA (2%), unlike other tests that require a quantity of fetal DNA> 4%. - IT'S QUICK
Thanks to the new high-resolution FAST technology, the PrenatalSAFE test results will be available from 3 working days (for the standard Prenatalsafe® 3 & 5 tests). - IT'S CLEAR
Prenatalsafe® is the non-invasive prenatal test that provides the clearest results: aneuploidy DETECTED or aneuploidy NOT-DETECTED, within the limits of resolution of the method

Rare Autosomal Aneuploidies = abnormalities involving all chromosomes besides 21,18,13,X and Y.
Deletions and Duplications in any chromosome. These are missing or gained pieces of chromosomes (>7Mb)
9 different Microdeletion syndromes: 1p36 (1p36 deletion syndrome), 4p- (Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome), 5p-(Cri-du-Chat syndrome), 15q11.2 (Prader-Willi / Angelman syndrome), 22q11.2 (DiGeorge syndrome), 8q24 (Langer-Giedion syndrome), 11q23 (Jacobsen syndrome) and 17p11.2 (Smith-Magenis syndrome)
The test will also screen for 45 ‘gene disorders’ including cystic Fibrosis, deafness, beta-thalassemia, sickle cell anaemia and other De Novo disorders. These results will be available 10 days following the initial chromosomal results.
Collection method
Maternal Blood
When is testing suitable?
- At or after 10 weeks: The test is performed on a maternal blood sample and is suitable for both singleton and identical twin pregnancies.
- For vanishing twins: You should wait at least 5 weeks from when the vanishing twin was detected before taking the test.
- Before 10 weeks: The test is not suitable before this time.
Laboratory processing time
Standard Turnaround time: 10-12 working days
