Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a type of prenatal screening that involves analyzing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the mother's blood to assess the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. Several companies specialize in offering NIPT services, and they play a crucial role in providing expectant parents and healthcare professionals with valuable information about the health of the developing fetus.
Latest Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing Companies Update
Nov 2023: The Global Health Access Initiative was launched by Illumina Inc., a leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies globally, to assist public health in low- and middle-income countries by providing access to pathogen sequencing tools. The initiative, created with input from clients, investors, and market intermediaries such as the nonprofit organization FIND, will offer qualified global health funding organizations discounted pricing structures for Illumina's qualifying sequencing products and tackle significant global logistics and supply chain issues. The cost of sequencing equipment and consumables can now differ by nation or area, which presents a problem for funders and donors and may prevent widespread adoption.
Nov 2023: To develop an assay for pre-transplant kidney testing, Verici Dx, a business that develops innovative clinical diagnostics for organ transplant, has partnered with Thermo Fisher, a global leader in healthcare, on a licensing basis. In addition to global rights, Thermo Fisher's exclusive license allows it to create and provide an assay for pre-transplant risk evaluation as a laboratory-developed test (LDT) at its CLIA laboratory in the United States. According to both businesses, the goal is to create a test that can categorize patients into risk groups according to how their immune systems are expected to react to kidney transplants. Consequently, physicians could be better equipped to decide how best to manage immunosuppressive and post-transplant patients.
