In a significant development for contract testing laboratories, Genetix, a Colombian leader in genetic diagnostics, has adopted Yourgene Health’s IONA® Nx NIPT Workflow. This new service offers expectant parents in Colombia reliable, fast non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), eliminating the need for overseas testing. Utilizing Yourgene’s IONA Nx workflow, which uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, Genetix provides results in just three days.
Previously, NIPT samples had to be sent to the USA, causing delays and higher costs due to shipping. With this new local solution, contract laboratories like Genetix can offer more competitive, scalable, and accurate services.
Benefits of NIPT for contract testing laboratories:
- Faster Turnaround: Results are delivered within three days, enhancing client satisfaction.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates international shipping costs, improving pricing structures.
- Flexible Throughput: Scalable workflow supports labs handling both small and large sample volumes.
- Enhanced Accuracy: NGS technology ensures precise, reliable prenatal screening results.
- Local Expertise: Establishes in-country expertise, minimizing dependence on foreign labs.
By adopting this advanced NIPT solution, Genetix ensures timely, cost-effective care for expectant parents, reducing the need for invasive diagnostic procedures.
