NON INVASIVE METHOD FOR PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS

managed by IRCCS Cà Granda

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

This innovative method allows separation of nucleated fetal cells from maternal
peripheral blood at all gestational ages.
More specifically, the physiological separation of fetal cells allows the non invasive prenatal diagnosis and it is useful for subsequent chromosome, gene expression and protein investigations.

BENEFITS

- Isolation of nucleated fetal cells.
- Feasible at all gestational ages.
- Immuno-TAG not required.

LIMITATIONS

N.A.

APPLICATIONS

- Non invasive prenatal diagnosis.
- Method applicable for liquid biopsy diagnosis.
