Does anyone know if NIPT is the same as the harmony test?

so confused with all the test names and my midwife is not helping explain 😞

Does anyone know?

From what i understand NIPT is Non invasive Prenatal Testing and is done using 2 methods: Harmony and Panorama. Here is an article that explains the sensitivity and the false positives between the two types. gynae-centre.co.uk/blog/whi...

However, it is good to combine the NIPT results with the 12 week scan as this helps to check for the Nuchal Translucency as well. Combined the results can be better to assess the child's growth and the chances of the three genetic problems: Down’s Syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13).
