What is a prenatal non-invasive test?>
- When you are pregnant, your blood contains fragments of your child's DNA.
- This test analyzes fetal DNA in your blood avoiding any impact on the fetus, presenting more precision, and a lower false-positive percentage than traditional invasive tests like amniocentesis.
-
What technologies applies?>
- The Harmony test analyzes fragments of specific chromosomes using the 'microarray' technology.
- It's an extremely precise quantification technique with a sensitivity and specificity higher than 99%.
- The Harmony test is validated to use in unique pregnancies, twin pregnancies, and egg donation pregnancies.
