1st trimester
In the first trimester, our four CE-marked assays – PAPP-A, free hCGß, PlGF and AFP – provide effective screening for aneuploidy. Additionally, the PlGF marker can be used for preeclampsia screening from a single sample. Our dried blood spot assays provide the same clinical performance as first trimester serum assays and supports easier access to screening in regions where storage of serum samples can be a challenge.

2nd trimester
In the second trimester, our assay solutions enable you to run the cost-effective Double test or enhance your screening performance using the Triple test or 2T QUAD test. The human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) marker offered as part of the first trimester Down syndrome screening panel can also be used for neural tube defect screening in the second trimester.

Risk assessment
The Lifecycle™ software provides a complete data management solution for your laboratory, but at its heart is our Risk Calculation Engine. It has been designed to perform multiple complex algorithms and manage a variety of screening models. The software is also user-configurable, meaning users can enter their own parameters based on MoM values to optimize performance for the local population.
