Noninvasive prenatal Screening

NIPS (NIPT) to meet clinical and patient needs

Every pregnancy is unique, and you make choices about patient care based on both your clinical judgment and your patients' perspectives. So offering a choice of screening options is important.

Backed by science and clinical validation, over a decade of NIPS testing experience, and knowledge and insight from millions of tests, Labcorp offers different panels to meet the needs of your patients and your practice. You have the option of core NIPS for Trisomy 21, 18 and 13, as well as optional insights for fetal sex, sex chromosome aneuploidies, clinically relevant microdeletions and additional trisomies. We also offer a clinically validated genome-wide screen.

Consistent with good practice guidelines, Labcorp is here to support you and your patients with educational materials about what the screening includes, what results may mean and the importance of diagnostic testing for confirmation. We also offer genetic counseling and access to clinical and scientific experts
