Why choose Unity Complete Screen NIPT?

  • Accurate Screening: with up to 92% sensitivity for inherited disorders.
  • Safe and Simple: Requires only a single tube of maternal blood; no risk to you or your baby. Optional cheek swab from the partner.
  • Inherited Conditions: The only NIPT that screens for inherited conditions from a blood test.
  • Early Reassurance: for parents in high-risk ethnic groups or with unknown family history.
  • Fetal Rh testing available early: This is ideal for Rh-negative mothers.
  • Optional Gender Reveal: Find out your baby’s sex with over 99% accuracy, if you wish.

What conditions does Unity Complete screen for?

Unity Complete includes everything in the basic Unity Aneuploidy Screen (trisomy and sex chromosome screening) plus screening for inherited disorders, including:

  • Common trisomies: Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards' syndrome (Trisomy 18) and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13)
  • Sex chromosome conditions: Turner syndrome and other sex chromosome conditions
  • Fetal Rh testing: Fetal Rh status (for Rh-negative mothers, +£50)
  • 1 microdeletion syndrome: DiGeorge syndrome (22q11.2 deletion)
  • Single-Gene Inherited Disorders: Cystic fibrosis (CF), Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Sickle cell disease (SCD), Alpha-thalassaemia and Beta-thalassaemia.
  • Optional Fetal Sex Determination: Know your baby’s sex early, if desired.

These conditions may not run in your family and are often silent carriers. Unity Complete helps detect these risks early, non-invasively. sgNIPT (single-gene NIPT) is only performed if the pregnant patient is identified as a carrier. UNITY Complete includes maternal carrier screening with reflex to sgNIPT for single-gene conditions when indicated, providing a personalised fetal risk estimate for the current pregnancy.

How does the Unity Complete NIPT work?

Unity Complete uses molecular counting technology and advanced genetic analysis to look for changes in your baby’s DNA, found in your blood. If necessary, a cheek swab from your partner may be requested to confirm carrier status.

  • Just one blood sample from the mother (from 9 weeks)
  • Samples processed by BillionToOne in the US

UNITY Complete is available for both monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (non-identical) twin pregnancies. It includes individual fetal sex determination and zygosity assessment.

What are the limitations of Unity Complete NIPT?

While UNITY is one of the most advanced NIPTs available, it's important to understand:

  • Samples processed by BillionToOne in the US, so may taken longer than UK providers.
  • Positive results for rare conditions may require further testing (e.g. CVS or amniocentesis) not covered by the NHS.

Who Should Consider Unity Complete?

Unity is a strong option if you:

  • Want early screening for Down’s syndrome and genetic diseases
  • Are Rh-negative and want to avoid unnecessary Anti-D injections.
  • Are seeking a cost-effective NIPT with excellent accuracy.
  • Suitable for twin pregnancies, egg donation, and cases of vanishing twin syndrome.

The test is also suitable for twin pregnancies, egg donation, and cases of vanishing twin syndrome (aneuploidy screen only).

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between basic and advanced 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 and can also screen for sex chromosome conditions, selected rare chromosomal deletions (microdeletions) and in some cases rare genetic conditions. At Jeen, our Unity Complete NIPT is classed as one of our advanced NIPT panel.

At Jeen, our NIPT specialists and midwives will support you during your consultation to help determine which option is most appropriate for you, based on your medical history, scan findings, and personal preferences.

Why do I need to send my scan before doing the Unity Complete NIPT?

We ask you to send us your pregnancy scan so our medical team can confirm that you’re at least 9 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 team 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.

Can I do NIPT at home?

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.

Can NIPT tell me the sex of my baby?

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.

Is Unity Complete NIPT covered by the NHS?

At the moment, certain NIPTs are only offered in 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.

How long do Unity Complete NIPT results take?

Your Unity Complete NIPT 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 US. 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.

When can I take the Unity Complete NIPT and is it safe?

You can take Unity Complete NIPT from 9 weeks into your pregnancy. Before booking your test with Jeen, we’ll ask you to upload a recent pregnancy scan, such as a dating scan or viability scan. This allows our specialist medical team to confirm that the test is suitable for you before proceeding.

Unity Complete NIPT is completely safe for both you and your baby. It’s a non-invasive blood test that only requires 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.

How accurate is NIPT?

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.

Visit our NIPT statistics page for more information.

Do I need midwife counselling before NIPT?

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.

What happens if my NIPT result is high risk?

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.

Will NIPT detect all possible conditions?

Like our baseline Aneuploidy NIPT, Unity Complete NIPT screens for the three most common chromosomal conditions: Down’s syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards’ syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau’s syndrome (Trisomy 13).

Like all NIPT tests, Aneuploidy NIPT does not screen for all chromosomal conditions or detect physical or structural differences, such as heart, brain, or limb abnormalities, which are usually identified through ultrasound scans.

If you are looking for other comprehensive screening, you may wish to consider advanced NIPT options such as Panorama Microdeletions, PrenatalSafe Complete Plus, or KNOVA.

Can I change from Unity Complete NIPT after booking?

Yes. You can change your NIPT option following your counselling or midwife appointment. If you switch to a less expensive test, we will issue a refund for the price difference within 5–10 working days. Our midwife will help you choose the most appropriate screening option based on your medical history, scan findings, and personal preferences, ensuring you have the right test for your pregnancy.

If you decide to switch from Unity Complete NIPT to a more comprehensive or higher-priced NIPT option, we will invoice you for the additional amount after your consultation.

Please note: If you upgrade your test, your NIPT kit will only be sent once the additional invoice has been paid in full.
