Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) uses cell-free DNA (cfDNA) derived from the pregnancy to evaluate possible chromosomal conditions in a pregnancy. NIPT is a prenatal chromosomal screening test that can be performed as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy using a single blood draw.  

We offer the Illumina VeriSeq v2 NIPT (which replaced Harmony) for £425 with a complimentary courier service to take your sample directly to the UK-based laboratory for speedier turnaround which is usually 2 - 4 working days.  We also offer IONACare (from £450) which has additional SCA and AA tests (costing an extra £65 meaning a total cost of £515) - IONA's lab is in Manchester and if sample is hand delivered can return results in 2-4 working days.

Price for both Illumina VeriSeq v2 and IONA NIPT includes the blood test and an ultrasound scan with scan prints.

A standard wellbeing check on you and your baby available from 14 weeks where gender can also be determined, if required but we can keep it a secret whether you plan on a gender reveal or not. Gender reveal items are available on the day of your scan.

It is primarily to provide reassurance by assessing the viability and wellbeing of your baby and hearing the heartbeat but this may be an option if you just wish to book a scan and there is no specific reason such as gender or reassurance.

You will receive two black & white scan prints with this scan.

You can now find out baby's gender via clinical blood test in as little as 24-48 hours!

A quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test measures the specific level of HCG in the blood. HCG is a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy.

Quantitative (reported as a number) hCG testing (also called beta hCG) measures the actual amount of hCG present in the blood. It may be used to help diagnose an ectopic pregnancy, to help diagnose and monitor a pregnancy that may be failing, and to monitor a woman after a miscarriage.

Starlight offers Beta HCG blood tests with typical 4-hour turnaround for results.
