BillionToOne Celebrates One Million UNITY Tests
BillionToOne, a prominent name in the field of molecular diagnostics, has recently marked a significant achievement by conducting over one million UNITY prenatal tests. This milestone reflects the company's mission to make accurate and accessible diagnostic tests available to everyone.
Launched just five years ago, the UNITY test stands out as the only commercially available non-invasive prenatal screening that evaluates fetal risks for various aneuploidies, recessive conditions, and fetal antigens, all from just one maternal blood sample. This innovation has propelled BillionToOne to the forefront of the prenatal testing industry, showcasing their expertise in creating transformative healthcare solutions.
Key Technology Behind UNITY
The remarkable success of the UNITY Fetal Risk Screen™ can be attributed to BillionToOne's patented
Quantitative Counting Template™ (QCT™) technology. This proprietary method allows for direct assessment of a fetus's risk for recessively inherited conditions—such as cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and sickle cell disease—without needing a sample from a male partner or resorting to invasive testing methods.
Oguzhan Atay, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of BillionToOne, emphasized that reaching the milestone of one million tests is not only a significant achievement for the company but also demonstrates the profound impact of their technology on prenatal care. He noted that the current annual run-rate is already exceeding 500,000 tests, indicating remarkable growth and positioning UNITY as the new standard in prenatal diagnostics.
Growth in the Market
BillionToOne has also established itself as the fastest-growing molecular diagnostics laboratory, boasting an impressive
100% year-over-year revenue growth in 2024. This rapid expansion can be attributed to the company's commitment to democratizing access to vital prenatal testing, particularly for families who require such services the most. Moreover, BillionToOne's QCT technology plays a crucial role in their Northstar Select® and Northstar Response® assays, aiming to revolutionize cancer care by utilizing non-invasive blood tests for treatment selection and response monitoring.
