PrenatalSafe Complete Plus NIPT

Basic NIPT screens for the three most common chromosomal conditions: Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards’ syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau’s syndrome (Trisomy 13). Advanced NIPT includes everything in the basic test, but can also check for sex chromosome conditions, some rare genetic deletions (called microdeletions), and can tell you the biological sex of the baby if you choose to know. At Jeen, our NIPT specialists will help you decide which version is right for you during your consultation.

We ask you to send us your pregnancy scan so our medical team can confirm that you’re at least 9/10 weeks pregnant (depending on the test you’ve chosen) and that the pregnancy appears to be developing as expected. By reviewing a recent scan performed within one week of your NIPT blood draw, our doctors can check that there are no early concerns before going ahead with your NIPT.

It’s also helpful to know that NIPT screens for specific genetic conditions only. It doesn’t look for physical or structural differences, such as heart defects or organ development issues, which are usually identified later in pregnancy through detailed ultrasound scans. Reviewing your early scan helps ensure NIPT is appropriate for you before moving forward.

Yes. At Jeen Health, the standard option is for you to arrange your blood test at home independently. If you prefer, we can organise your blood test for you for an additional fee.

Yes, NIPT can identify the baby’s biological sex with high accuracy, but this is completely optional. If you’d like to know, just let our team know during your consultation and if you’d rather not find out, we’ll make sure it’s not included in your report.

At the moment, NIPT is only offered on the NHS in certain situations, such as when a standard screening test shows a higher chance of a genetic condition. At Jeen, we offer private NIPT testing with flexible options, fast results, and full clinical support, including expert guidance and convenient at-home appointments.

Your results will usually be ready within 17–21 working days from the time your sample arrives at our partner lab. Once the results arrive our admin team will call and deliver the results to you as soon as they’re ready.

Please note that delays can occur during public holidays in both the UK and Europe. If your results indicate that follow-up testing is needed for your partner, we’ll act quickly to keep everything moving smoothly. Our priority is to get you the answers you need without unnecessary delays, so you can make confident, informed decisions for your pregnancy.

NIPT is completely safe for both you and your baby. It’s a non-invasive blood test that requires only a small sample from your arm and involves no physical contact with the baby. This means there’s no risk of miscarriage or harm to the pregnancy, unlike invasive diagnostic procedures. You can take the PrenatalSafe Complete Plus NIPT from 10 weeks into your pregnancy.

Before booking your test with Jeen, we’ll ask you to upload a recent pregnancy scan (such as a dating or viability scan). This allows our specialist medical team to confirm that the test is suitable for you before proceeding.

If you’re looking for earlier testing options, you may wish to consider Panorama NIPT or Unity Complete NIPT, which can be taken earlier in pregnancy depending on individual circumstances.

NIPT is over 99% accurate at detecting Down’s syndrome and is also highly reliable for Edwards’ and Patau’s syndromes. It is more accurate than standard NHS screening and produces fewer false-positive results, meaning fewer people are referred for unnecessary follow-up testing.

Yes. With Jeen, you must attend an online midwife NIPT counselling appointment before the test. After this appointment, we will send you the kit for sample collection.

At Jeen, we believe it’s important that everyone taking NIPT has the chance to speak to a qualified midwife (or a genetic counsellor for an additional fee) first. This session helps you understand what the test covers, what it doesn’t, and what the results might mean for you and your baby. It’s also a space to ask questions and make confident, informed choices.

If your result shows a high risk for a condition, we’ll arrange a follow-up session with one of our genetic counsellors to explain exactly what it means. You’ll be given the option to have a diagnostic test, such as amniocentesis or CVS, which can confirm the result. We’ll support you at every step, with clear information and no pressure.
