* The test only requires a small blood sample (7 to 10ml) taken via a standard venipuncture procedure (collection of blood from a vein).
* Blood collection via venipuncture eliminates the chance of DNA contamination unlike other similar tests which use alternative sampling methods.
* DNA testing is extremely reliable – the test offers a validated accuracy of 99,5%+*. Do not risk getting an incorrect result by purchasing a cheaper hormone-based DIY kit.

The Science behind the Advanced Baby Gender test
At the laboratory, scientists use a technique called Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify small amounts of DNA and look for Y-chromosomal DNA (only found in males) in the mother’s blood. Y-chromosome DNA will only be present in the mother’s sample if the baby is a boy since females do not carry the Y-chromosomal DNA. If the scientists do not detect any Y chromosomes, then the fetus is female and the expectant mother will have a baby girl.
Although this test is considered as a great way to discover the sex of your baby, ultrasounds are also important as part of your prenatal care. Should you have any queries, please consult your doctor.
*The baby gender test is 99,5%+ accurate at 7 weeks of pregnancy (49-56 days post conception. The laboratory has a quality assurance program that continuously monitors the quality of their methods and reagents and the accuracy of the results. The 0,5% error rate is attributed to user error such as taking the test too early or not providing enough blood sample.

FAQs
What will the test results state?
The results for the baby gender test are clear and easy to understand. They will state whether the presence of male DNA has been detected or not.
How long can I keep the blood specimen for?
We recommend sending off the maternal blood sample as soon as possible. Do not refrigerate, spin or freeze the sample and make sure that it is not exposed to temperatures above 50°C.
I have heard of a home urine kit that determines the sex of the baby. Do they work?
There are some home urine kits which claim to be able to instantly tell you the sex of your unborn child. These tests generally require the first-morning urine which is mixed with a solution provided in the kit. The test relies on detecting certain hormones which pass out with the maternal urine. The hormones react to the solution to produce a different colour depending if the baby is a boy or a girl. However, the accuracy or reliability of this test can never be compared to analytical testing in a laboratory in terms of accuracy. The actual accuracy levels have also been questioned.
Can I just use an ultrasound to determine the gender of my baby?
It is not uncommon for pregnant women to rely on ultrasounds as a means of determining the sex of the unborn child. However, the issue with an ultrasound is that it is not uncommon for them to give the wrong or indeterminate results especially in the earlier stages of pregnancy. If you want scientifically certified information on the gender of your baby at an early stage of your pregnancy then you need to perform a baby gender DNA test.
