How the Luna Prenatal Test Works
Your reliable test results are four easy steps away.

Step 4
Step 1
Step 1
Draw blood
Blood is drawn and shipped overnight to Luna’s CLIA-certified laboratory (CAP accreditation pending).
Step 2
Step 2
Isolate cells
Luna’s lab isolates fetal cells from the mother’s blood. Luna’s unique approach provides highly accurate results analyzing multiple cells, one cell at a time.
Step 3
Step 3
Analyze Cell Genetics
Luna’s lab directors analyze individual cells for common trisomies as well as other chromosomal abnormalities, even small ones, that NIPT does not detect reliably.
Step 4
Step 4
Report to Provider
A report is then sent to the provider who ordered the test. Once results are ready (typically in 10-14 days), our genetic counselors and lab directors are available to discuss results with your physician and/or genetic counselor.

Testimonials
~Mark Zylka
Ph.D. researcher at UNC working on prenatal CRISPR treatment for Angelman syndrome
"This test is incredible and will supplant cell-free NIPTs in short order.
Hope the company has the bandwidth to test what is likely to become a flood of samples. The fact that it’s a diagnostic and can take the place of amnio/CVS is a really big deal. Even couples who are enthusiastic about genetic testing have some reservations about these tests due to their invasive nature. The Luna Test changes this."
~Kim S.
mother who experienced amniocentesis following an abnormal NIPT result.
"If I’d had the option to take the Luna Prenatal Test to avoid the wait, I would not have hesitated.
After receiving an abnormal screening result from my noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT), I had to wait two months until I could undergo amniocentesis. It turned out the NIPT result was a false positive, but the months of waiting to get a normal diagnostic result on the health of my growing fetus were the two most difficult months of my life."
