Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) has become one of the most reliable methods for screening chromosomal abnormalities in pregnancy, including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13. Compared to traditional biochemical screening methods like the Double Marker Test or Triple Marker Test, NIPT offers greater accuracy, fewer false positives, and higher detection rates.

Among all available options, the Harmony NIPT Test has earned global trust for its scientific validation, accuracy, and reliability. At LABASSURE, we recommend Harmony NIPT for patients who want clear, dependable answers about their baby’s health.

Why Choose NIPT?

  • Higher sensitivity than biochemical screening (Double/Triple markers).
  • Provides reassurance to parents by detecting common chromosomal abnormalities early.
  • Safe, non-invasive test using a simple maternal blood sample.
  • Recommended by gynecologists and fetal medicine specialists worldwide.

While many patients search online for NIPT test cost in India, it is important to understand that quality, methodology, and accuracy matter more than price alone. Harmony stands out as the most scientifically validated choice.

8 Reasons Why Harmony NIPT is the Most Trusted

1. Excellent Detection Rate

Harmony NIPT demonstrates a 99.5% detection rate for Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), as reported in multiple peer-reviewed studies, making it one of the most accurate prenatal screening tests available.

2. SNP-Based Methodology

Unlike many NIPT methods, Harmony uses SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)-based technology, which increases accuracy and sensitivity by analyzing variations across the genome.

3. High Success Rate

At LABASSURE, we have observed a 98.4% success rate for Harmony NIPT on the first attempt. A global study led by Prof. Nicolaides reported a failure rate of just 1.7% for singleton pregnancies and 0.7% for repeat samples.

4. Five Times Lower False-Positive Rate

In one of the largest studies across 18,955 pregnancies, Harmony NIPT showed a false-positive rate of only 0.6%, five times lower than conventional screening methods. This minimizes unnecessary anxiety and invasive follow-ups.

5. Validated for Twin Pregnancies

Unlike most NIPT options that are limited to single pregnancies, Harmony is validated for twins, even with varied fetal fractions in maternal blood. This makes it a preferred choice for multiple pregnancies.

6. Validated for IVF and Donor Egg Pregnancies

With the rise of IVF, surrogacy, and donor egg pregnancies, Harmony remains one of the few NIPT options validated for such cases. This provides reassurance for parents undergoing assisted reproduction.

7. Most Reviewed & Published NIPT Worldwide

Harmony has been studied in over 148,000 pregnancies and featured in 48+ peer-reviewed publications. This makes it the most validated and trusted NIPT test globally.

8. Performed by Specialists with Proprietary Technology

Harmony uses the DANSR assay and FORTE algorithm, combined with CE-marked Harmony IVD Kit and AcfS Software. Tests are processed in specialized laboratories by highly trained professionals, ensuring consistent and accurate results.
