Understanding NGS
How Does NGS Testing Work?
Next-Generation Sequencing is a technology that reads DNA in a way that's faster and more detailed than older methods. Instead of analysing one piece of genetic code at a time, it processes millions of DNA fragments together, giving a fuller picture in far less time.
This makes it possible to study genes more closely, whether the goal is understanding a disease, guiding treatment decisions, or supporting research. For patients and clinicians alike, it means access to answers that support faster, more informed decisions.

admin@medinno.inWhat is NGS testing?
Next-Generation Sequencing is an advanced technology that reads DNA in detail, helping identify genetic changes linked to health conditions. It's used across areas like oncology, prenatal screening, and infectious disease detection, offering deeper insight than many traditional testing methods.
Who should consider NGS testing?
NGS testing may be recommended by a doctor for patients with a family history of genetic conditions, those undergoing cancer treatment, expecting parents seeking prenatal screening, or anyone needing detailed genetic insight to guide diagnosis or treatment decisions.
What sample is required for testing?
Most NGS tests require a simple blood sample, though some tests may need a tissue sample depending on the specific condition being screened. Your healthcare provider will confirm the exact requirement based on the test you're undergoing.
How long does it take to get results?
Processing time depends on the specific test and panel you choose. Once we receive and process your sample, our laboratory team works to deliver accurate results within a reasonable timeframe.
Is NGS testing safe?
Yes. Most NGS testing involves a standard blood draw, similar to routine lab work. For prenatal testing specifically, it's non-invasive and carries no risk to the pregnancy, unlike more invasive diagnostic procedures.
How do I understand my test report?
Your report will include a clear summary of findings, explained in plain language alongside technical detail. If you have questions, our specialist team is available to walk you through the results with you.
Do I need a doctor's referral to get tested?
This depends on the specific test. Some screenings can be booked directly, while others may require a referral from your physician. Our team can help clarify what's needed for the test you're interested in.
