All women deserve the right to NIPT. We intend to make it possible to serve their needs. VANADIS DIAGNOSTICS ACQUIRED BY PERKINELMER Read more All pregnant women deserve the right to reliable prenatal testing. But until now, screening for trisomies has been limited by the complexity, cost and capacity of existing NIPT technologies. Now, due to a breakthrough in advanced genetic analytics, we are developing a solution designed to make it simpler for any laboratory to provide high-precision NIPT with a fully automated platform. Vanadis™ NIPT will be the first non-invasive prenatal testing platform designed to simplify screening for trisomies 21, 18 and 13 by eliminating the need for complex DNA amplification and analysis. The result will be a complete NIPT platform that any diagnostic lab can install, operate and connect with their existing LIMS system.

Introducing Smart NIPT Don’t amplify. Simplify. Existing NIPT technologies require a complex DNA sequencing or microarray process that is both time-consuming and data-intensive. Vanadis Smart NIPT will remove this step entirely. By using a proprietary enzymatic sample preparation to create and quantify fluorescent DNA objects, our solution will eliminate the need for both DNA sequencing and PCR amplification to reduce the cost and complexity of screening for aneuploidies. Fully automated prenatal screening Thanks to an automated workflow, the technology will enable any laboratory to install and run a complete high-performance NIPT system. The Vanadis platform will process the entire test – from sample to result – with minimal intervention from laboratory technicians. As a result, laboratories can perform high-quality prenatal screening without the need to send samples to reference laboratories. More women served Vanadis Smart NIPT enables all pregnant women to receive reliable and accurate cellfree DNA based screenings through a method that is far more cost-efficient for healthcare providers. By simplifying and decentralizing the screening process, it allows more laboratories and physicians to provide the vital information that every woman deserves. The Vanadis system is in development.
