Comprehensive Concepto NIPT Packages & Transparent Pricing
We believe in transparent cost and choice. Below is a detailed breakdown of our Concepto NIPT packages, designed to meet different needs and budgets.
Concepto NIPT – Basic
Price: Blood Test Only -£270 , With Ultrasound – £320
NIPT works by analysing cell-free DNA in the mother’s blood, which includes both maternal DNA and a small amount of placental DNA known as the fetal fraction. Factors such as gestational age, multiple pregnancies, maternal BMI, certain medical conditions, or medications can affect fetal fraction, and an adequate level is important for accurate results.
In addition, NIPT screens for trisomies, which occur when there are three copies of a chromosome instead of two, such as Trisomy 21, 18, or 13. While the chance of trisomy increases with maternal age, these conditions can occur at any age.
NIPT is completely safe for both mother and baby, as it involves only a simple blood sample from the mother’s arm. To take the test, simply book your appointment online and visit our clinic for a quick blood draw, with no fasting and no procedures involving the womb.
Includes:
- Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
- Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)
- Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)
- Optional fetal gender detection
Concepto NIPT – Advance

What is NIPT? Understanding Your Prenatal Screening Options
NIPT, or Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing, is a breakthrough in prenatal care. It analyses small fragments of your baby’s DNA that circulate naturally in your bloodstream during pregnancy. This revolutionary DNA testing method allows for highly accurate screening of specific chromosomal conditions as early as 10 weeks.
How is it different from other screenings?
-
NIPT Vs. Combined First-Trimester Screening: NIPT is significantly more accurate, with a detection rate of over 99% for Down syndrome, compared to around 85-90% for the standard combined test.
-
NIPT Vs. Invasive Tests (like Amniocentesis): NIPT is a simple blood draw, carrying zero risk of miscarriage, unlike invasive procedures, which carry a small but significant risk.
Who is the Concepto NIPT Test For?
The Concepto NIPT is an excellent option for any expectant parent seeking early and accurate information. It is particularly recommended if you:
- Are you 10 weeks pregnant or more?
- Have a family history of chromosomal conditions.
- Are 35 years of age or older.
- Received a “high-chance” or concerning result from your NHS combined screening test.
- Simply want the most accurate, safe, and early screening available for peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About NIPT
Q: How accurate is the Concepto NIPT test?
A: The Concepto NIPT is highly accurate, with a sensitivity and specificity of over 99% for detecting Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome). It is one of the most reliable prenatal screening tools available.
Q: What is the total cost of the NIPT test?
A: The total cost depends on your chosen package. Our Concepto NIPT starts at £270, with the comprehensive Plus package at £335. The £35 phlebotomy fee is additional to the package price.
Q: Can I find out the baby’s gender with this test?
A: Yes. Fetal gender determination is an optional part of all our Concepto NIPT packages. The test identifies the presence of X and Y chromosomes to confirm if the baby is male (XY) or female (XX).
Q: Is the Concepto NIPT a diagnostic test?
A: No. It is a highly accurate screening test. A positive or high-probability result should be confirmed with a diagnostic invasive test, such as amniocentesis, as per medical guidelines.
Q: What is the ConcePTO NIPT?
A :The ConcePTO NIPT is a non-invasive prenatal screening test that looks at cell-free fetal DNA in the mother’s blood to see how likely it is that the baby will have common chromosomal problems.
Q:What does NIPT look for?
A:NIPT mainly looks for common chromosomal problems like Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), and Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). Depending on the panel chosen, it may also look for certain differences in sex chromosomes.
Q: When can I get the NIPT test while I’m pregnant?
A:NIPT can usually be done starting at 10 weeks of pregnancy, which can help ease worries about chromosomal risks early on.
Q: Is the NIPT safe for my child?
A:Yes. NIPT is completely safe for both the mother and the fetus because it only uses a sample of the mother’s blood and doesn’t put the pregnancy at risk.
Q: Is it possible to do NIPT on twins or more than one baby?
A:Yes, many NIPT options are safe for twin pregnancies, but the results may be harder to understand, so you should talk to your doctor about it.
Q: Should NIPT take the place of other prenatal tests?
A: NIPT is a very useful screening tool, but it is usually only one part of a larger plan for prenatal care. It doesn’t take the place of regular ultrasounds or other prenatal tests that are recommended.
