- Safe, Early, and Accurate Insight into Your Baby’s Health
NACE Test (Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening) at Life IVF Multan
Expecting a child is an exciting journey, and ensuring your baby’s chromosomal health is a top priority. The NACE test (Non-Invasive Chromosomal Evaluation), commonly known as NIPT, is an advanced screening tool that analyzes cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s bloodstream. At Life IVF Center Multan, we offer this state-of-the-art screening to give expectant parents early peace of mind with maximum safety.
What is the NACE Test?
The NACE test is a high-precision prenatal screening option performed as early as the 10th week of pregnancy. Unlike traditional invasive procedures like amniocentesis, NACE requires only a simple blood draw from the mother, posing zero risk of miscarriage or injury to the baby.
It screens for common chromosomal abnormalities caused by an extra or missing chromosome, such as:
Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18)
Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13)
Sex chromosome aneuploidies (and optional gender disclosure if desired)
Why Choose the NACE Test?
100% Safe
Completely non-invasive with no risk to the pregnancy.
Early Detection
Can be safely administered from the 10th week of pregnancy onward.
High Accuracy
Offers significantly higher detection rates and lower false-positive rates than standard first-trimester blood tests and ultrasounds.
Simple Procedure
Just a routine blood draw processed through advanced genetic sequencing laboratories.
Who Should Consider NACE?
Women aged 35 or older.
Expectant mothers with unusual findings on early pregnancy ultrasounds.

Parents seeking reassurance following fertility treatments like IVF or ICSI.

Frequently Asked Questions
NACE stands for Non-Invasive Chromosomal Evaluation. It is a modern prenatal screening test (often called NIPT) that analyzes cell-free fetal DNA found naturally in a pregnant woman’s bloodstream to check for chromosomal conditions.
The test can be safely administered as early as the 10th week of pregnancy and onwards. Testing early provides parents with crucial information early in their first trimester.
Yes, absolutely. Because it only requires a standard, routine blood draw from the mother, it is 100% non-invasive and carries zero risk of miscarriage or harm to the developing baby.
The test primarily screens for common chromosomal trisomies, including Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13), as well as sex chromosome anomalies.
NACE is a high-accuracy screening test, meaning it assesses risk levels with great precision. If a screening result indicates a high risk, your doctor may recommend a diagnostic confirmation test (such as amniocentesis).
