Test Description
The AneuCare® test is the only fetal aneuploidy screening platform to enable targeted cfDNA analysis without PCR amplification. Instead, the system directly captures target fragments and labels them for counting. Unlike complex sequencing-based platforms, Easy System enables cost-efficient, high-performance screening for fetal aneuploidies (T13, T18 and T21) using standard microplates, eliminating the need for DNA sequencing, microarrays or microfluidics.
Indications for Testing
Any pregnant woman who wants to know whether there is a risk that the baby carries a chromosomal condition such as Down Syndrome can be screened using the AneuCare® test. Pretest counseling is advised before testing.
Condition Description
Prenatal screening is offered to pregnant women because all pregnancies have a small chance for a genetic disorder, regardless of maternal age, family history, or personal health. Know more about the AneuCare® test, a simple and accurate test to know your baby’s risk for Down, Edwards and Patau Syndrome accurately.
Test Methods and Limitations
Performed without PCR amplification and unlike other complex sequencing-based NIPTs, the AneuCare® test directly captures target chromosomal fragments and labels them for high-yield counting which enables high-performance screening for fetal aneuploidies at an affordable price. The AneuCare® test is processed on Revvity Omics' cfDNA screening platform that enables targeted cfDNA analysis without PCR amplification. Instead, the system directly captures target fragments and labels them for counting. Unlike complex sequencing-based platforms,This system also enables cost-efficient, high-performance screening for fetal aneuploidies (T13, T18 and T21) using standard microplates, eliminating the need for DNA sequencing, microarrays or microfluidics.
