VANGENES NIPPT
Introduction
If you’re pregnant and have questions about the paternity of your unborn fetus. You don’t have to wait out your entire pregnancy before you can determine the father of your growing baby.
Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test （NIPPT）is the most technologically advanced paternity test while pregnant. It involves taking a blood sample from the mother and a buccal swab or a discreet sample from the alleged father. After the samples are delivered to our test lab, the professional technicians will extract the cell-free DNA from mother’s plasma and the alleged father’s DNA from the discreet samples. The cell-free DNA from mother’s plasma also contains a certain proportion of the fetal DNA. Through the use of target DNA capture, library preparation and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology within a lot of state-of-the-art facilities, we sequence and output over 1.8 million DNA base pairs which cover more than 13,000 SNP loci from your submitted samples. Our bioinformatics scientist team statistically analyze and compare the sequencing data through high-performance automatic computing platform. The final report of your paternity test result will be returned to you after our Ph.D. level auditors review. Based on the principle of the technology, the accuracy rate of our prenatal paternity test is higher than 99.9999%. The non-invasive test is 100% safe for the mother and baby.

Sample Types
To determine the parent-child relationship of a fetus by Vangenes Non-invasive Prenatal Paternity Test (NIPPT), we need to collect the following biology samples of the pregnant female AND the suspected father(s):
Female Sample - Only 10ml Venous Blood
*The female shall be more than 7 weeks of pregnancy, counting from her last menstrual period. We will use a cell-free DNA preservation tube to draw the female venous blood.
AND
Male Sample - For each suspected father, choose at least 2 types of the male sample below:
Blood, Clipped Nails, Mouth Swabs, Blood Stains, Beard, Hair or Chewed Gum.
Collection Methods
Please choose one of the following two collection methods:
Vangenes Collection - We will send a nurse to your place, to draw the blood of a pregnant woman and collect the samples for the suspected father(s). After the collection, the nurse will send your samples to our laboratory.
Self-collection & Shipment - We will send you a self-collection kit. You can find a local nurse in your place to help you finish the collection. Right after the collection, you should send your samples to our laboratory by express.
Supported Quantity of Suspected Male
1 or 2 or multiple.
Report Method
Paper report or electronic report sent to your email and/or WhatsApp.
Frequently Asked Questions

What type of male sample is used to obtain the most accurate results during Vangenes NIPPT?
Different types of male samples have been shown to be equally accurate during non-invasive prenatal paternity testing. So just send the male sample that is most convenient to collect.
How does Vangenes collect my sample?
Vangenes offers the option of sending a nurse to your home or designated location to collect blood from the pregnant woman and samples from the presumed father(s). It is also possible to apply a Vangenes collection kit and collect the samples with the help of a local nurse in your place.
How can a male sample be collected?
For the male sample, we have several options available: blood, fingernails, mouth swabs, bloodstains, beard, hair or gum. You can choose to have our nurse perform the collection at your home, or collect the sample from the suspected father yourself. We'll provide you with a complete guide to walk you through the process.
