How does Early Reveal  work?

In short, our lab tests target and detect the Y chromosome, which would be present in the mom’s blood if she’s pregnant with a boy.

If the Y chromosome isn’t detected, that means that you’re having a girl. If it is detected, then it’s a boy! The affinity of our targets and the Y chromosome is very high, meaning that the results are very accurate.

How are  Early Reveal different from other companies?

We target for regions of the Y-chromosome which was designed by our research team and our scientists. We're confident that our regions have a very high affinity to the selected portion of the target chromosome which has proven to be 99% accurate.

We also hold a Health Canada MDEL License, the ONLY gender detection company in Canada to have this certification. All samples are analyzed in Canada in our lab in Laval, Qc and the company is 100% Canadian owned and operated.

What's the science   behind the test?

At the very early stages of pregnancy, the fetal blood is mixed in with maternal blood. By analyzing the blood of the mother, we can separate the maternal blood form the fetal blood and with that we can get a lot of genetic information about the baby.

The information we look for specifically is presence/absence of the Y-chromosome. Knowing that males and females differ on the chromosome pairs (XY vs. XX) we target to determine the presence or absence of the Y-Chromosome. 

If this chromosome is detected, then we can make a conclusion that a male fetus is present but if it's absent then we can conclude that it's a female fetus. Once that information is received, we notify you of the results and you can begin to celebrate!

Do blood thinners affect my results?

E.R.  looks only for the presence of Y chromosomes and is extremely sensitive and accurate. No blood thinners or other drugs are known to impact gender results.
