percept NIPT
Our comprehensive NIPT service is different
percept is an Australian genome-wide NIPT service. We combine customised bioinformatics and expert cytogenomics interpretation to deliver clinically relevant results.
Our service includes a full interpretation on every NIPT result, genetic counselling and ongoing support for you and your patients.
percept means fewer invasive procedures
We use pre and postnatal pregnancy outcome data to inform personalised PPVs which more accurately reflect pregnancies at increased chance.
Our reporting approach reduces false positive calls, giving a more accurate estimation of the chance the result is true (ie that the pregnancy is affected).
Comprehensive information + complete support
percept is the NIPT option for those who want a more comprehensive chromosome screening test. Our interpretation and reporting focuses on providing clinically useful and relevant information.
percept is also delivered with complete clinical support. Our dedicated reproductive genetic counsellors support you and your patients, from pre-test counselling through to personalised post-test follow up.
This means you and your patients will never be left wondering what a result means.
