Our NIPT screening is a valuable tool to non-invasively identify chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome in the fetus. Our in-house genetic counsellor offers a free genetic counselling session to all patients who receive a high-risk result following a TriScreen NIPT to discuss the implications of the result and the available options and next steps.
POCScreen is a comprehensive genome-wide test that analyses the tissue from a pregnancy loss to determine if the loss is due to a chromosomal abnormality. The purpose of the POCScreen test is to provide information about the possible cause of the pregnancy loss, as well as to provide insights into future reproductive planning.
We offer cord blood and cord tissue Netcells Stem Cell Banking, allowing your patients to store their baby's stem cells for future use. Our laboratory is accredited with the AABB, and it ensures that your patient's stem cells are kept secure and viable for many years. Stem cells have regenerative potential to enable innovative future therapies.
