SEARCH What is Amnio-PCR? Amnio-PCR is a revolutionary, rapid prenatal diagnostic screen based on molecular DNA techniques. Amnio-PCR has been pioneered and developed by TDL Genetics, the genetics division of the Doctors Laboratory. Amnio-PCR is a new, rapid diagnosis of the most common chromosome abnormalities using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Using a small sample of amniotic fluid, PCR amplifies and enables quantification of specific regions of the DNA molecule from uncultured amniocytes providing a definitive result within 24-48 hours.
