EVITA
The EVITA test examines all 23 pairs of chromosomes. It is our most comprehensive non-invasive NIPT.
It differs from other tests on the market by using whole genome sequencing. The test is Danish-developed and analyzed in Denmark.

The fetus is thoroughly scanned to check for any developmental abnormalities that can be detected through ultrasound. What can be seen varies depending on the week of pregnancy.
Consultation with our sonographer / doctor.
The EVITA test analyzes all 23 chromosome pairs and can identify numerical abnormalities such as trisomies – including Down syndrome (T21), Edwards syndrome (T18), and Patau syndrome (T13) – as well as abnormalities on other chromosomes.
The test can also detect certain deletions and duplications. Since there is no complete list, you are always welcome to contact us for more information.
You will receive black-and-white images as well as images and video clips sent to your phone via a QR code. A report from the day’s scan with the fetus’s measurements is also provided.
All 23 chromosome pairs are examined. The analysis method is far more advanced and the closest we can get to a chorionic villus sampling (CVS). It is not affected by BMI. The test analyzes whole fetal cells, whereas other NIPTs examine DNA fragments.
Up to 12 business days.
Between pregnancy week 10+0 and 14+6.
It is extremely rare not to receive a result from the EVITA test. If this happens, you will be offered a new test at no additional cost. You may also choose to receive a full refund, minus 1,000 DKK for the scan and consultation.
