UNITY is one simple test

Small fragments of DNA related to your baby that made its way from the placenta into your bloodstream are analysed.

Using BillionToOne’s proprietary Quantitative Counting Template (QCT) technology, UNITY can assess your baby’s risk for recessively inherited conditions, changes in chromosome numbers and your baby’s RhD status.

Results in about 2 weeks.

Most cases have a low-risk result.
If your result is high-risk, your doctor will go over the result and offer follow-up testing options.
