Open informationNot every patient needs the same panel
Tests depend on trimester, history, previous results, symptoms, obstetric risk and public/private protocols. A fixed list may be wrong for an individual patient.
Before collection we confirm preparation, fasting if relevant, medication, gestational stage, availability and expected turnaround.
On-site laboratory and referred tests
Many routine tests can be processed within the Askabide laboratory environment following control and validation. Genetics and specialist testing, including NI/+, are coordinated with reference laboratories.
For NI/+ we use the Laboratorio Calderón test described on the dedicated page.
