Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity

Dear Valued Client,

We are excited to announce that after more than 4 years of R&D, Alliance DNA Laboratory, in partnership with Qiagen, has developed a first-of-its-kind Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity (NIPP) Test using STR rather than SNP analysis. Some of the highlights of this test include:

Better Reports. Our NIPP reports look very similar to a standard paternity test, meaning your customers will receive a paternal and maternal profile that may be used for future relationship comparisons. Existing NIPP tests do not offer this information.

Lower Cost. Newer technology allows Alliance DNA to produce a test at a lower cost than current market options. These savings are passed onto you and significantly improve your competitive advantage with potential NIPP customers.

First To Market Advantage. As the first STR NIPP test to enter the DNA market, you have an additional selling tool against competitors to gain NIPP market share.

Getting Started

Getting started is easy!

NIPP kits can be ordered via the orange “Order Supplies” button located on the homepage of your portal. In order for us to keep the cost of the test low, we ask that you order a kit once you have an appointment scheduled. If your office performs 3+ NIPP cases per month, you are welcome to store a few kits in your office.

The turnaround time is 7-10 business days.

How much is a rush?
