Accurate Fetal Testing Begins with MCC Detection
Maternal cell contamination analysis plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy of fetal genetic results by detecting the presence of maternal DNA in prenatal or miscarriage samples. Eliminating this interference allows for precise interpretation of fetal genetics for both diagnostic and investigative purposes.

Frequently Asked
Questions!
We’re here to help. Explore answers or reach out to our team directly.
What is a maternal cell contamination test?
A maternal cell contamination test is used to determine whether maternal DNA is present in a fetal or miscarriage sample. This step is crucial to ensure that the results reflect only the fetal genetic material. At FSG, we conduct maternal cell contamination analysis to confirm sample purity before any further genetic evaluation.
What is the test to detect fetal cells in maternal blood?
The detection of fetal cells is typically performed through non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), which analyzes cell-free fetal DNA. In cases where accuracy is critical—such as post-miscarriage analysis or invasive sampling—a maternal cell contamination blood test can be recommended to ensure that the results are not affected by maternal DNA.
What is MCC in amniotic fluid?
Maternal cell contamination in amniotic fluid refers to the unintended presence of maternal DNA in a sample intended for fetal analysis. This can compromise test results. A maternal cell contamination analysis helps identify such interference to ensure accurate interpretation of the fetal genome.
What is MCC in a blood test?
In the context of prenatal diagnostics, MCC (maternal cell contamination) in a blood test indicates the presence of maternal DNA that may distort the analysis of fetal DNA. A maternal cell contamination blood test is performed to detect and assess contamination levels, ensuring reliable and clinically valid genetic results.
