The Hazel™ non-invasive prenatal screening test* (NIPS), also referred to as non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), is performed using a small amount of blood from a finger prick rather than a traditional blood draw. The screen has no risk of miscarriage and can be performed as early as 9 weeks into pregnancy. In addition to testing for the fetal sex, Juno Hazel™ also screens your pregnancy for common genetic conditions caused by extra or missing chromosomes, such as:
- Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
- Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)
- Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)

You've got questions, we've got answers...
What is the Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen?
The Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen (NIPS) is a blood-based screening test for pregnant parents. It screens for three of the most common chromosomal conditions seen in pregnancy - Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13). Hazel™ can be performed as early as nine-week gestation through a simple blood collection which can be completed at home.
How early can I take the Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen?
The Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen can be performed as early as 9 weeks into your pregnancy, counting from the first day of your last menstrual period.
Can I order the Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen for myself, or does it need to be ordered by my doctor?
You can order the Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen directly through our website. Because Hazel™ is a medical screen, a physician will review your order before we ship a kit to you. Alternatively, your prenatal care provider can order Hazel™ on your behalf directly from Juno. If they do not have an account at Juno they can contact us directly at support@junodx.com
When will I receive my results?
Once the JunoDx lab receives a Hazel™ sample, results are typically available within 2-4 business days. At that time, you’ll get an email notification and be able to view your results in your myJuno portal.
How accurate are the results of the Hazel™ Non-invasive Prenatal Screen?
The Juno Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen has a >99% accuracy when patients follow our easy, video-assisted process for collection.
Do I really have to do the video-assisted collection?
Yes, our video-assisted collection process is critical in ensuring you receive the most accurate result possible. We’ve found Juno lab results to be >99% accurate when patients complete the quick and easy video walk-through with our expert Customer Care team.
Do you have a guarantee? What happens if I receive an inaccurate result?
While the Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen is highly accurate, false-positive or false-negative results are possible with any screening test. Please contact our Customer Care team if you’re concerned about a potential discrepancy in your Hazel™ NIPS results.
Is the Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen safe?
Because Hazel™ is a non-invasive screen that analyzes a maternal blood sample, it’s safe for you and your baby!
How does the Hazel™ Non-Invasive Prenatal Screen work?
Hazel™ uses next-generation sequencing technology to read the code of millions of short DNA segments found in your blood. These fragments come mostly from you, but also from your baby’s placenta. Hazel™ checks the amount of DNA in your sample. If Hazel™ finds more or less DNA in your sample than what we’d expect, this difference in DNA is most likely from your pregnancy – not from you.
