Maternal Cell Contamination Test: Ensuring Your Prenatal Results Are Accurate
When you’re making important decisions about your pregnancy based on prenatal test results, you deserve absolute confidence in their accuracy. The Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) Test provides that essential verification, detecting when maternal cells have mixed with fetal cells in your sample – a situation that could lead to misleading results and unnecessary anxiety.
Understanding Maternal Cell Contamination
Maternal cell contamination occurs when cells from the mother accidentally mix with the fetal cells during sample collection for prenatal genetic testing. This contamination can mask fetal genetic abnormalities, potentially leading to false negative results that might cause you to miss critical information about your baby’s health.
Our MCC test acts as a quality control measure, identifying and quantifying any maternal cell presence in your prenatal sample. This ensures that the genetic analysis truly reflects your baby’s DNA, giving you reliable information for your pregnancy journey.
Who Should Consider This Essential Test?
If you’re undergoing any of these prenatal diagnostic procedures, the MCC test provides crucial peace of mind:
- Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) procedures
- Amniocentesis testing
- Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) follow-up
- High-risk pregnancy monitoring
- Advanced maternal age pregnancies
- Previous pregnancy with genetic conditions
- Abnormal ultrasound findings requiring confirmation
Many South African mothers choose this test as an additional safety measure, especially when making important healthcare decisions based on their results.
