Non-Invasive
Prenatal
Testing (NIPT)
Consultant-Led Genetic Screening, Delivered with Clarity and Care
Expert interpretation. Trusted results. Personal support at every step.
At The Pregnancy Experts, our NIPT service goes beyond simply processing a blood test. Every result is supported by consultant-led oversight, pre-test counselling and clear, personalised explanation of what your findings mean for you and your pregnancy.
We use one of the UK's leading NIPT platforms — offering over 99% sensitivity and specificity for the most common chromosomal conditions, with results typically available within five working days.
​
NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. That distinction matters — and we will always make sure you understand exactly what your result does and does not tell you, before and after testing.
​
Choose the Level of Testing That's Right for You
We offer three levels of NIPT, allowing you to choose the depth of genetic information that feels right for your pregnancy and your circumstances. Our team is here to help you make that decision with confidence.
​
All of our packages include a diagnostic consultant scan before your test and full counselling of your results
NIPT Standard
Core Chromosomal Screening for the Most Common Conditions
​
Reassurance. Clarity. Expert support from week 10.
​
Our NIPT Standard package provides a comprehensive first-level genetic screen, covering the three most common chromosomal trisomies — Down's syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards' syndrome (Trisomy 18) and Patau's syndrome (Trisomy 13) — alongside full sex chromosome aneuploidy screening, which assesses for conditions including Turner syndrome (XO), Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY), Triple X syndrome (XXX) and Jacob's syndrome (XYY).
Optional biological sex determination is also included for those who wish to know.
Together, this makes NIPT Standard a meaningfully more comprehensive screen than NHS combined first trimester testing, with detection rates exceeding 99% for the common trisomies and a substantially lower false positive rate.
It is available from 10 weeks of pregnancy, requires only a simple blood test from the mother's arm, and results are returned within 5 working days.
For most patients, NIPT Standard provides an excellent foundation of genetic reassurance — covering the conditions most likely to be clinically significant whilst remaining accessible and straightforward.

​Everything in Standard, Plus the Six High-Demand Microdeletions
​
Broader genetic insight. The same expert support. One simple blood test.
​
NIPT Advanced builds on everything included in our Standard package and extends the analysis to screen for the six most clinically significant chromosomal microdeletions.
Microdeletions are small but important segments of missing chromosomal material that are associated with recognised genetic syndromes — including DiGeorge syndrome (22q11.2 deletion), Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, 1p36 deletion syndrome, Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome and Cri-du-chat syndrome. These conditions are not detectable through routine NHS antenatal screening and would not be identified on a standard ultrasound scan.
NIPT Advanced is particularly well suited to patients who want a broader level of reassurance beyond trisomy screening, including those who have undergone IVF, experienced recurrent pregnancy loss, or simply want greater confidence in the genetic health of their pregnancy. As with all our packages, your results will be communicated with consultant-led clarity and full personalised support.

NIPT absolute
The Most Comprehensive Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen Available
​
Maximum genetic insight. Consultant-led from the very first step.
​
NIPT Absolute is the most detailed non-invasive prenatal test we offer, and one of the most thorough available anywhere in the UK private sector.
It includes the complete trisomy screening, sex chromosome aneuploidy analysis and gender determination from our Standard package, the six high-demand microdeletions from our Advanced package, and extends further still to screen for up to 92 additional microdeletions and chromosomal copy number variants across the entire genome.
This level of analysis provides an exceptionally detailed picture of your baby's chromosomal health, identifying a wide range of rare but clinically meaningful genetic conditions that no other non-invasive test routinely captures.
NIPT Absolute is most appropriate for patients with a personal or family history of genetic conditions, those who have had a previous pregnancy affected by a chromosomal or genetic abnormality, or those who simply want the most complete reassurance that current science can offer. This package is always supported by a pre-test consultation with our clinical team to ensure it is the right choice for your individual circumstances, and full consultant-led result interpretation is included as standard.
