Dear Sir/Madam: 

Greeting from BGI, China! 

Here let me introduce a newborn test we are going to promoting in following few months-NovaTM-genetic test for newborns. This panel includes two section. One is genetic disease screening section, consist of 40 Metabolic Disorder, 6 Immunological Deficiency, 3 Single Gene Disorder and 1 Hearing Impairment, the other section is Pharmacogenomics, evaluating curative outcomes of 20 pediatric drugs.

There are two impressive features for this new test: 

1. All of the panel would be analyzed by NGS (next generation sequencing), even for the metabolic disorder, it is NOT performed on tandem mass platform. Therefore, it could be applied as a perfect supplementary for traditional newborn screening which is reluctant in clearly identified the suspected disease by the clues of vague small molecules level and uncertain phenotype. 

2. The sample type is 3 dry blood spot on Guthrie card instead of whole blood, which would greatly facilitate the sampling process on newborn baby. BGI has the cutting-edge technology to exact the trace DNA from the blood spot and perform the comprehensive sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Also, we would prepare a very nice sample collection kit free for the newborns go for this test, which includes alcohol pad, , blood sampling device, Guthire card, wound dressing and all files requested by NovaTM.  

The promotion price for the test is $600, now we are looking for a powerful partner to bring this wonderful test to India and let more family can be beneficial from it.           

I have attached the soft copy brochure here, please let me know your advice of this test in India. 

PS, besides of this nova test, we also provide non-invasive prenatal test (NIFTYTM) service, please feel free to contact us if you are interested in this service.
