Novel and High-Throughput Method of Isolating Single Fetal Cells Using FACS for NIPT

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy of fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) for isolating rare circulating fetal cells from maternal blood to enhance cell-based non-invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT). Their findings demonstrated that FACS can successfully isolate single fetal cells with a significant enrichment factor, enabling faster and high-throughput processing for genetic analysis. This method shows promise for improving the accuracy and efficiency of prenatal genetic testing.
