Getting NIPT in Tokyo: How Hiro Clinic Differs from Certified Facilities
If you’re considering NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing) in Tokyo, it helps to understand the difference between certified and non-certified facilities before you choose. Hiro Clinic NIPT Tokyo Station Clinic is a non-certified facility. Comparing five points — testing scope, age restrictions, referral letters, turnaround speed, and cost — will help you find the facility that suits you best.
Certified vs. Non-Certified Facilities (Hiro Clinic): Comparison Table
The main differences between the two come down to testing flexibility and ease of access. The table below summarizes how to choose in Tokyo.
| Comparison Point | Certified Facility | Hiro Clinic NIPT Tokyo Station Clinic (Non-Certified) |
|---|---|---|
| Testing scope | Mainly the 3 common trisomies (21, 18, 13). Fetal sex not covered. | Covers the 3 common trisomies plus all chromosomes, microdeletions/duplications (up to 143 conditions), and fetal sex. |
| Age restrictions | Often limited to mothers aged 35 or older at delivery. | No age restrictions. Open to all pregnant women. |
| Referral letter | Usually requires a referral from your regular OB-GYN. | No referral needed. You can be tested once a fetal heartbeat is confirmed. |
| Turnaround time | Typically 1–2 weeks due to overseas shipping. | In partnership with a domestic testing institution (Tokyo Health Inspection Center), results in ~5 days on average (as fast as 2). |
| Cost | Varies by facility. | Plans start in the ¥60,000 range for the 3 core conditions, up to full-coverage plans. |
| How to test | Generally requires an in-clinic visit. | In-clinic visits available, plus an at-home option ("Ouchi NIPT") completed entirely at home. |
No Difference in Testing Accuracy
There is no difference in testing accuracy between certified and non-certified facilities. Some patients worry that accuracy may be lower at a non-certified facility, but there is no need for concern.
Most certified facilities in Japan use Illumina’s "VeriSeq NIPT Solution V2." Hiro Clinic was the first in Japan to introduce this same system, and testing is carried out to the same standard.
About the Tokyo Health Inspection Center, Our Testing Partner
NIPT testing at Tokyo Station Clinic is carried out in partnership with a domestic testing institution. The institution responsible for testing is the Tokyo Health Inspection Center.
The Tokyo Health Inspection Center is a testing institution that was accredited as a certified NIPT facility from 2022 to 2024. Because we work with this domestic testing institution, results can be delivered in around 5 days on average, as fast as 2 days. That shorter, less anxious wait is another reason patients in Tokyo choose this clinic.
