What is a DNA Gender Test?

Sassy Stork Ultrasound Studio offers an early gender DNA detection test to women starting at 6 weeks of the pregnancy. We work in conjunction with Gateway Genomics to offer Sneak Peek DNA Clinical.  We use a little device called SNAP to draw a tiny amount of blood from the upper arm. We use FedEx Overnight Express to send the sample to the Genomics Labs in California for processing. Results are available 2-3 days after the lab receives your sample or the same day the lab receives the sample, if you choose to Fast Track for an additional $20. The results may be delayed due to weather or FedEx delivery issues. You will receive an email with your results.

With our DNA gender test, you can choose DNA only or DNA gender testing paired with an ultrasound for the full experience.

​

How does the DNA Test work?

The Sneak Peek DNA Clinical test utilizes the natural process of shared fetal DNA circulating inside the mother's bloodstream. PCR technology can detect the presence or absence of male Y chromosome in the blood sample. If it is detected then the baby's gender is male and if it is not detected then the baby's gender is female.

When will I get my results?

The blood samples are shipped to the lab in California using FedEx Overnight Express and you will receive your results by email within 2 to 3 days or you can upgrade for $20 extra to receive the results the day the lab receives the sample.
