What the test shows
NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnosis. From week 10 there is cell-free fetal DNA in the pregnant person's blood. We send the sample to an ISO 15189-accredited laboratory within the EU, where it is analysed with a CE-marked test.
- Down syndrome (trisomy 21)
- Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18)
- Patau syndrome (trisomy 13)
- sex chromosome conditions in single pregnancies: Turner, Klinefelter, Triple X and Jacobs
NIPT does not replace ultrasound. A high-chance result is always followed by a call from the doctor and a referral for a confirmatory test.
NIPT in Sweden: what the region offers
In Region Skåne, all pregnant women are offered the combined test (KUB: ultrasound and blood test) in weeks 11–14. Public NIPT is offered only when KUB shows an increased chance. At CorLab you can book NIPT yourself from week 10, as a complement to KUB or instead of waiting for it.
We are at Fabriksgatan 5A in Lund, two minutes' walk from Lund Central Station and about 15 minutes by train from Malmö. You only need to come once – results are given by phone or digitally.
Frågor och svar
NIPT questions
01How much does NIPT cost?
4,600 SEK, including the blood sample, laboratory analysis and results. No surcharge for fast results.
02How quickly do I get the result?
Within 3–5 working days after the sample reaches the laboratory. The sample is sent the same day and usually arrives the next day.
03Do I need a Swedish personal number or a referral?
No. Many of our patients are international students and staff in Lund. You book directly and pay at the visit by card or Swish.
04From which week?
From pregnancy week 10+0.
05Can I learn the baby's sex?
The fetal sex can be reported if you ask for it. The test is done to assess chromosomal conditions, not to determine sex.
06Does it work for twins?
Yes for trisomy 21, 18 and 13, with slightly lower accuracy than for a single pregnancy. Please tell us when booking.
07What happens if the result shows a high chance?
The doctor calls you, explains the result and refers you to the Swedish maternity services for a diagnostic test. No decision should be based on NIPT alone.
