How does the Pink or Blue Early Gender Test work? It has been known for some time that even from the earliest stages of a normal pregnancy, small amounts of DNA from an unborn fetus are able to find their way into the mothers bloodstream. Using a drop of the mothers blood from a painless finger prick and exquisitely sensitive detection techniques, we are able to determine whether any of the fetal DNA is derived from the Y chromosome - a DNA region that is only present in males. If this DNA can be detected in the mothers blood, then she must be carrying a male child. If there is no male DNA present, the child must be female. The techniques used are extremely accurate, with one recent large-scale scientific study which followed thousands of pregnant women finding that it had a 95% accuracy rate. We are so confident of the accuracy of this test, that we provide a full money-back guarantee in the event of a false result.
How early in pregnancy can the Pink or BlueŽ gender test be used? The test provides accurate results as little as seven weeks after conception, and for the duration of the pregnancy.
How is the sample taken? Once we receive an order, we will send a simple home test kit for sample collection to you free-of-charge. Following the instructions included in the test kit, a small drop of blood is collected from the mother by a painless finger prick. Once this is done, the test kit is sent back to us, and the sample will be analysed and results sent back to the orderer either by mail or email.
How accurate is the test? The Pink or Blue Early Gender Test is the most accurate on the market - the results from thousands of women have shown that the accuracy is 95%. We are so confident of the accuracy of this test, that we provide a full money-back guarantee in the event of a false result.
Does Pink or BlueŽ replace an Ultrasound? No. Pink or BlueŽ does not replace an Ultrasound. Ultrasounds are important for monitoring the health of the baby during pregnancy. Pink or BlueŽ is a service and makes no medical or health claims.
What happens if I get an inconclusive result? In the unlikely event that the test results are inconclusive, we will provide a re-test for you free-of-charge. If for any reason you do not wish to be retested, we will provide a refund of the testing cost less the cost of the test kit.
Can I use Pink or BlueŽ if I have a multiple birth pregnancy? Yes. You may use Pink or BlueŽ if you are expecting more than one child. Pink or BlueŽ will not determine the number of boys or girls you are expecting, however, but will let you know if you're expecting at least one boy or only girls.
Does Nimble Diagnostics accept international orders? Yes! We accept orders from anywhere in the world, and the sample can be sent to one of several Nimble Diagnostics international locations. We also can accept payment in almost any currency if requested.
How is shipping arranged? We will process your order within 24 hours and ship a test kit out to you anywhere in the world free-of-charge. Once the samples have been collected, the kit should be mailed back to us. If there are any other special requests regarding shipping, please contact us and we will do our very best to accommodate them.

What are the important things to look for in a testing company? There are several DNA testing companies offering what look like very cheap tests, however, NOT ALL DNA TESTS ARE OF EQUAL QUALITY. To avoid getting an incorrect result from your test which could have devastating consequences, always ensure the following:
- The testing company is fully accredited, preferably by international accreditation bodies such as the AABB and ISO17025. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17025 is the world standard in the certification of competence of testing and calibration of medical diagnostic laboratories. ISO 17025 certification ensures a high level of competence and compliance for the certified laboratory, ensuring that testing is undertaken by professionals. The AABB also certifies laboratories, and runs a accreditation programme specifically for high competence levels in parentage testing. Nimble Diagnostics' lab is accredited by both bodies.
- Many companies have hidden costs. They will lure you in with the promise of a cheap test, then charge you extra for shipping, for rapid results, or even to provide a copy of the results. Nimble Diagnostics guarantees that you will pay NO MORE than the advertised price - shipping of the test kit, results, and testing is all included.
