Know More. Know Early.
One blood sample from mom. Direct genetic insights about your baby.
One Test. Multiple Insights To Your Baby’s Health.
UNITY Complete is the only test of its kind. It determines if there may be changes to your baby’s genes (recessive conditions) and chromosomes (aneuploidies). These insights are possible with just one blood draw from mom.
Most expecting families will learn early there is a low chance their baby will be born with certain medical conditions. This information can provide peace of mind.
For pregnancies identified to be at a higher risk, having this information early helps you and your doctor make informed decisions.
Recessive Conditions
UNITY Complete is the only non-invasive blood test that looks at baby’s DNA for recessive conditions. Recessive conditions, such as Cystic Fibrosis, are inherited disorders. This means that both parents can pass the condition to a baby. The condition can be passed down, even if the parents show no signs or symptoms. If both parents are carriers of the same condition, there is a higher possibility that the baby will be born with that condition.
_
UNITY Complete doesn't just determine if the parents are carriers. It can look at baby's genetic information found in mom's blood. This genetic information helps to determine how likely it is that baby will actually be born with this condition.
_
UNITY Complete screens for conditions aligned to medical society recommendations: Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Sickle Cell Disease, Alpha- Thalassemia, Beta- Thalassemia, and Sickle Cell Disease.
Chromosomal Conditions
UNITY Complete also screens for chromosomal conditions, or aneuploidies, like Down syndrome.
These are typically not inherited but occur due to an extra or missing chromosome in the baby. While every pregnancy carries a small risk of chromosomal conditions, factors like the mother’s age can increase this risk.
_
UNITY Complete screens for chromosomal conditions that are routinely offered by OB providers across the United States: T21, T18, T13, Monosomy X, XXY, XYY and XXX.
Discover The Difference
With UNITY Complete.
Direct genetic insights to baby's health
One test, multiple insights
No blood draw needed from baby’s father
Early Intervention Can Make A Difference.
Therapies are most effective when initiated before symptoms begin, making prenatal diagnosis critical.
1 in 40
Children with the most common form of SMA have gene therapy available to increase quality of life and life expectancy.
Treatment can start shortly after birth.
1 in 10
In the general population, sickle cell disease is more common than Down Syndrome. Early diagnosis enables connection to a specialty care clinic.
1 in 20
Alpha-thalassemia major most often results in stillbirth and intervention with gene therapy is available on a research basis.

Submit your sample
A single blood draw as early as 10 weeks is all it takes.
After the test
The results for chromosomal conditions (and add-ons, such as gender) are made available in ~1 week, and recessive conditions in ~2 weeks. The patient portal has several resources for you while you wait.
You also have the option to Add-on Babypeek™ once you’ve received your UNITY Complete results.

Frequently Asked Questions
UNITY Complete takes advantage of a pregnancy's DNA (circulating cell-free DNA, ccfDNA) floating in the maternal bloodstream to assess for genetic changes. Some of these genetic changes are extremely small - like changes to single genes that can cause recessive conditions. Some of these genetic changes involve the presence of an entire extra chromosome (aneuploidies).
Our specialized QCT technology enables us to be able to count the genetic information we see from both mom and baby in a blood sample, and determine if there are differences that could indicate a baby has a higher chance of being affected with one of these conditions.
UNITY Complete offers multiple genetic insights from a single maternal blood sample. The results you receive will depend on which tests your healthcare provider orders. UNITY Aneuploidy NIPT screens pregnancies for chromosome conditions caused by extra or missing chromosomes including trisomy 21, trisomy 18, trisomy 13, and monosomy X. This part of the test can also tell you the predicted sex of the baby and if there is a different number of sex chromosomes (XXX, XXY, XYY).
Depending on your clinical picture, your doctor may also order UNITY Fetal RhD NIPT for moms who have a RhD- blood type or UNITY Fetal Antigen NIPT for moms who are alloimmunized to certain antigens.
UNITY Fetal Risk Screen determines if a pregnant person is a carrier for cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, sickle cell disease, alpha-thalassemia, or beta-thalassemia. If you're found to be a carrier for one of these conditions, the fetal DNA will be screened to determine if there is a high-chance or a low-chance for a pregnancy to be affected with a condition.
In some cases, like twin pregnancies or those achieved with an egg donor, we are not able to perform a fetal risk assessment.In some cases, your provider may also order carrier screening for fragile X syndrome. If you are a carrier for this, our assay cannot determine if the baby has fragile X syndrome or not. Additional testing would be recommended.
We accept ALL insurances, including Medicaid. UNITY Complete screens for recommended genetic conditions and are a covered benefit by most insurances, including Medicaid. Since each insurance plan is different, we will contact you with a text message or phone call about your out-of-pocket costs. We also offer financial assistance programs that are quick and easy. We believe every pregnant patient has the right to choose UNITY Complete without worrying about a surprise bill.

UNITY Complete is ordered by your healthcare provider. If you decide you want UNITY Complete, please call us at 650-460-2551 or email us at support@unityscreen.com and we can get your provider the information they need to get started.
The type and timing of results from your UNITY Complete tests will depend on what your provider orders. Our team of genetic counselors is always happy to review your specific results if you have further questions.
Possible results with UNITY Aneuploidy NIPT typically fall into low-risk fetus or high-risk fetus results.
A Low Risk Fetus Results means that the chance your pregnancy is affected with the screened conditions is significantly reduced, but not eliminated.
Note: this result does not guarantee a healthy child and does not eliminate the possibility of other chromosome abnormalities, birth defects, or other genetic conditions.
A High-Risk Fetus Result means the chance your pregnancy is affected with a specific condition is increased. Confirmatory testing via chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, or postnatal evaluation is strongly recommended.
UNITY Fetal Risk Screen provides maternal carrier screening results (reported as a positive carrier or negative carrier). If a pregnant person is found to be a carrier, fetal testing will automatically be performed. Possible sgNIPT fetal results can fall into decreased/low-risk categories or increased/high-risk categories.

Your provider may also order carrier screening for fragile X syndrome. If the mom is determined to be a carrier for this, our assay can perform cell-free DNA analysis to determine if the fetus is a male- this would put the fetus at higher risk to develop Fragile X Syndrome.
