New Product from DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC)
PeekabooTM Click is the newest member of the Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test product family, as announced by
DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC), a global leader in genetic relationship and consumer testing and a member of the Eurofins network of companies.
With a simple blood sample from the mother, the PeekabooTM test allows expecting parents to determine the gender of their child very early in pregnancy with 99.5 percent accuracy1.
Peekaboo™ Click will use a virtually pain-free at-home collection device to collect capillary blood from the mother's arm as early as six weeks into pregnancy, making it easier and more convenient for expectant mothers to obtain a test sample.
The sample is then sent back to DDC's lab by the customer, where it is examined and precise results are provided as soon as the same day.
Like the original Peekaboo™ Early Gender DNA Test, Peekaboo™ Click delivers results with exceptional accuracy and convenience by using PCR technology to detect the presence of Y chromosomes from cell-free fetal DNA isolated from a self-collected maternal blood sample.
"DNA Diagnostics Center continues to be at the forefront of innovation and quality in consumer genetic testing, with its highly accredited laboratory services and excellent customer care," said Mike Sheaffer, Founder of the American Pregnancy Association.
"We are excited that Peekaboo™ Click will offer pregnant women an even more comfortable and simple solution to determine the gender of their baby at home."
Peekaboo™ Click was designed with expecting mothers' experience in mind, as a more convenient, reliable and comfortable alternative to traditional fingerstick blood collection. Women simply stick the device on their upper arm, click a button to activate a tiny needle, and wait for up to two minutes for blood to begin collecting directly into the device's tube.
1. 99.5% accuracy validated in a clinical study of 215 pregnant women between 7 and 39 weeks gestation with blood drawn from venipuncture. Data published on peekaboogendertest.com.
