The solution uses maternal peripheral whole blood specimens collected in Streck BCT tubes from pregnant women of at least 10 weeks gestation.
The solution is performed on three primary pieces of equipment:
Additional lab equipment is necessary to complete a run. Refer to the VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2 Consumables and Equipment list (document # 1000000076886) for a full list of required equipment.
No. For genomewide screens, certain regions are excluded from analysis. A list of such blacklisted regions is available on the Illumina Support product page under Product Files. Genomic anomaly detection is only performed on non-excluded regions.
Yes, the solution uses a non-single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) technology that does not rely on the similarities and differences between maternal and fetal cfDNA.
The solution is not intended to detect polyploidies.
The basic screen provides information on the trisomy status for chromosomes 21, 18, 13, X, and Y only. Genomewide screens provide partial deletions and duplications of 7 MB or more for all autosomes and aneuploidy status for all chromosomes.
In some countries, depending on regulations, fetal sex reporting and sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) reporting is not available.
No. The entire workflow is automated.
You can conduct runs in 24, 48, or 96 sample batches.
Yes. The Sample Prep kit includes a DNA Adapter Plate.
You can use 24 or 48 sample pools.
There is no PCR step in the workflow. Therefore, no post-PCR lab space is required.
No. The sample needs to be reprocessed from the start for another analysis option.
All software is provided with installation.
No. You must either purchase the VeriSeq Onsite Server v2 with the VeriSeq NIPT Assay Software v2 pre-installed or upgrade an existing VeriSeq Onsite Server to v2.
The basic screen provides information on the trisomy status for chromosomes 21, 18, 13, X, and Y only. Genomewide screens provide partial deletions and duplications of 7 MB or more for all autosomes and aneuploidy status for all chromosomes.
In some countries, depending on regulations, fetal sex reporting and sex chromosome aneuploidy reporting (SCA) is not available.
Yes, all files are in MD5 format, which makes it easy to incorporate into any LIMS system. However, LIMS software should not be installed directly onto the PC for the VeriSeq NIPT MicroLab STAR.
