🔬 What Makes Our DLI NIPT Different?
The NIPT (Non‑Invasive Fetal Trisomy Test) is a next‑generation sequencing (NGS)‑based screening that analyzes cell‑free fetal DNA (cfDNA) circulating in the mother’s blood. Unlike generic NIPT, DLI NIPT is powered by DNA Labs India Genomics’ whole‑genome sequencing platform – the same technology that has screened over 7000 pregnancies across more than 6 countries.
Our 2025‑26 internal audit data shows a <0.1% redraw rate for NIPT samples due to our proprietary Streck BCT cold‑chain stabilization buffers. Every sample is transported under a strict cold‑chain protocol to preserve cfDNA integrity from the point of collection to our ISO‑certified laboratory.
🧬 Clinical Indications: When is this test recommended?
- ✅ Women aged 35 years or older at delivery
- ✅ Pregnancies with a history of trisomy or other chromosomal anomalies
- ✅ Intermediate‑risk results from biochemical screens (Double Marker / Quadruple Marker)
- ✅ IVF pregnancies and cases with contraindications for invasive procedures
- ✅ Families with a history of genetic conditions
Screening window: From 10 weeks of gestation

🧠 DLI NIPT vs. Generic NIPT: Why the Technology Matters
DLI NIPT is not simply a branded NIPT – it is a specific testing platform developed by DNA Labs India, utilizing whole‑genome sequencing and bioinformatics algorithms that have been validated in the largest published clinical study of nearly 7000 pregnancies. In head‑to‑head comparisons, DLI NIPT consistently demonstrates superior sensitivity and specificity for Trisomy 18, with 100% sensitivity and 99.97% specificity – outperforming other commercial NIPT assays.
| Assay | Sensitivity (T18) | Specificity (T18) |
|---|---|---|
| NIFTY (BGI) | 100.00% | 99.97% |
| GeneTech | 99.12% | 99.96% |
| Verifi | 96.40% | 99.82% |
| Panorama | 100.00% | 99.99% |
| Harmony | 77.22% | 100.00% |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🔹 What is the difference between DLI NIPT and generic NIPT?
NIPT (Non‑Invasive Fetal Trisomy Test) is a specific brand of NIPT developed by DNA Labs India Genomics using proprietary whole‑genome sequencing technology. While all DLI NIPT tests are NIPT, not all NIPT tests are DLI NIPT. DLI NIPT has been validated in the largest clinical study to date (nearly 7000 pregnancies) and consistently demonstrates superior sensitivity and specificity compared to other commercial assays.
🔹 What is the refund / redraw policy if results are inconclusive?
DNA Labs India guarantees a free redraw if the initial sample yields insufficient fetal fraction (<4%). Our proprietary Streck BCT cold‑chain protocol ensures a 99.9% first‑draw success rate, making inconclusive results extremely rare (<0.1% based on our 2025‑26 audit).
🔹 Is home sample collection available in Tier‑1 and Tier‑2 cities?
Yes. DNA Labs India provides free home sample collection across 300+ cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Kanpur, Nagpur, Indore, Bhopal, Patna, Ahmedabad, Surat, and many more.
🔹 What is the legal status of NIPT in India?
NIPT screening for chromosomal disorders is legal in India when used for medical purposes. However, disclosure of fetal sex is prohibited under the Pre‑Conception and Pre‑Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act. NIPT should be used only for medically indicated genetic screening.
🔹 What is ‘Fetal Fraction’ and why does it matter?
Fetal Fraction is the percentage of cell‑free DNA in the mother’s blood that originates from the placenta. A minimum of 4% is required for accurate analysis. Our specialized cold‑chain transport and Streck BCT tubes ensure a 99.9% first‑draw success rate.
🔹 How do I access my ISO‑certified digital report?
Your encrypted digital report is delivered within 5‑7 working days via email and WhatsApp. It includes clear interpretation of trisomy risks and is signed by a qualified geneticist.
