Peace of Mind for Your Growing Family: FISH Chromosome 13 & 22 Testing
When you’re planning for or expecting a baby, every decision matters. Our advanced FISH testing for Chromosome 13 and 22 abnormalities provides the clarity and confidence you deserve during this precious time. We understand the anxiety that can come with genetic concerns, which is why we’ve made this crucial testing accessible and affordable for South African families.
Understanding FISH Chromosome Testing
FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) is a sophisticated genetic testing method that allows us to detect specific chromosome abnormalities with exceptional accuracy. This test specifically examines Chromosomes 13 and 22 for conditions like trisomies, where an extra chromosome is present. Unlike standard chromosome analysis, FISH provides targeted, rapid results that can guide important healthcare decisions.
Our testing process is designed with your comfort in mind, requiring only standard samples while delivering comprehensive genetic insights that can impact your family’s health journey.

- Parents concerned about genetic conditions in previous pregnancies
- Individuals with suspected genetic syndromes

If you’re experiencing anxiety about potential genetic conditions or have risk factors that concern you, this test provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
