Illumiscreen is a Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen (NIPS), sometimes known as a Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT).
NIPS is a blood test that screens pregnancies for chromosomal abnormalities including Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome. NIPS has the highest accuracy for Down syndrome among the prenatal screening tests and can be performed anytime from 10 weeks pregnancy onwards. The Illumiscreen test is available for both singleton and twin pregnancies and is the only NIPS processed end to end in New Zealand.
