BillionToOne Launches Unity Confirm™: A category-defining test that bridges the gap between screening and invasive diagnostics

A breakthrough in prenatal care, Unity Confirm enables non-invasive confirmation for high-risk screening results through the capture of intact circulating fetal cells using BillionToOne’s Fetal Cell Capture™ Technology

MENLO PARK, Calif., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For more than two decades, the ultimate quest for scientists and clinicians studying prenatal genetics was the capture of an intact fetal cell non-invasively so that its fetal DNA could be directly analyzed. While cell-free DNA has revolutionized prenatal genetics, it left an uncertainty—a gap between screening and invasive diagnostics, for patients who cannot, or choose not to, access invasive diagnostics. Today, BillionToOne, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLLN), a next-generation molecular diagnostics company with a mission to create powerful and accurate tests that are accessible to all, announced the launch of Unity Confirm™, a circulating fetal cell-based, non-invasive confirmation test, designed to address this need from a simple maternal blood draw.

Since its introduction in the early 2010s, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has become the standard of care for screening for fetal aneuploidies. However, when screening returns a high-risk result, clinical guidelines recommend diagnostic confirmation via chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis. These invasive procedures carry a small but real risk of pregnancy loss, and are increasingly difficult to access. The majority of patients decline, leaving clinicians and families without the information needed to guide next steps, and widening gaps in inequitable care.

While cell-based prenatal genetics has been studied since before the advent of cell-free DNA tests, the scientific barrier has long been the rarity and fragility of fetal cells in maternal circulation. Presenting at fewer than one cell per milliliter of blood and nearly indistinguishable from millions of surrounding maternal cells, intact circulating fetal cells have been too difficult to isolate in an accessible way for clinical use. The cell-based approaches were previously studied across multiple independent publications1 in more than 1,500 patients, consistently demonstrating that when a fetal cell is captured and sequenced, it provides an accurate result that has extremely high concordance with invasive diagnostic testing. However, these methodologies have stayed too academic, expensive, and inaccessible.

Unity Confirm addresses this directly. Available for all patients who use UNITY Aneuploidy for their front-line screen*, BillionToOne’s Fetal Cell Capture™ technology, a multi-step immunological enrichment and single cell isolation process, isolates intact circulating fetal cells, effectively providing 100% fetal fraction2, and performs whole genome sequencing on each individual cell. By analyzing the direct fetal cells rather than fragmentary cfDNA, similar to invasive procedures, Unity Confirm delivers rapid CVS-like insights3 non-invasively, from a single blood draw.

“For years, the idea of capturing whole fetal cells non-invasively was largely viewed as an elusive holy grail, something theoretically possible but practically out of reach,” said Oguzhan Atay, PhD, Co-founder and CEO of BillionToOne. “Unity Confirm is proof that it does not have to be. For the first time, a clinician can confirm a high-risk prenatal result non-invasively, with a level of accuracy the field has never before seen outside of an invasive procedure. For the first time, this technology is broadly accessible.”

“A high-risk NIPT result does not give you a diagnosis. It gives you a decision to make under enormous stress, often without enough information,” said Haywood Brown, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Prenatal, BillionToOne. “For too long, the options were limited: forgo confirmation, or undergo an invasive procedure with a small but real risk. What makes Unity Confirm truly different is not just the science; it is that this capability is now clinically accessible. That’s not an incremental improvement. That is a fundamentally different standard of care.”

In BillionToOne’s own clinical validation, Unity Confirm demonstrated 100% concordance with known fetal outcomes and invasive diagnostic results across 16 of 16 samples, including affected fetuses for common aneuploidies and 22q11.2 microdeletion. The clinical data supporting Unity Confirm will be presented at ACOG 2026 in Washington, D.C., presenting the science behind the technology to the broader OB/GYN community for the first time. Beginning on May 28, providers using Unity Aneuploidy™ Screen will have access to Unity Confirm following a high-risk result. To further validate performance at scale, BillionToOne is now enrolling in the largest prospective study of a fetal cell-based confirmation assay with invasive diagnostic outcomes, targeting enrollment of 1,000 patients and measuring concordance to invasive diagnostic testing.

*Unity Confirm is intended for patients who cannot, or choose not to, pursue invasive diagnostic testing following a high-risk Unity Aneuploidy Screen result before 16 weeks of gestation. Available for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13, 22q11.2 microdeletion, XXY, XYY, and XXX aneuploidies. Requires Unity Aneuploidy Screen as the frontline screen for the pregnancy.

2In rare instances, results may rely on a single cell that is co-sequenced with 1-2 maternal cells, which may reduce fetal fraction to 50% or 33%. When this occurs, the report clearly indicates this limitation.

3Unity Confirm and rapid CVS both analyze fetal-derived trophoblast cells. Unity Confirm isolates individual cells via whole genome sequencing (WGS), which is performed on each cell separately, whereas rapid CVS is often performed via FISH. While rapid CVS may analyze more cells, WGS generates more data per cell. In both rapid CVS and fetal cell capture, mosaicism cannot be excluded. Unity Confirm may have false-positive and false-negative results. Results are not a guaranty. Important medical decisions should not rely on UnityConfirm test results alone. Clinical correlation is necessary. Unity Confirm is a laboratory-developed test performed in a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory. It is not an FDA-approved or FDA-cleared diagnostic test.

Brockton High School Students Premiere Original Films Exploring Mental Wellness and Leadership

Twenty-three student creators showcase cinematic takes on boundaries, bias, and leadership; selected works to advance to the National SALT 12 Film Festival.

BROCKTON, Mass., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Brockton High School hosted the 2026 Brockton High School Film Festival, a community celebration of student voice and mental wellness. Organized by the nonprofit SALT ED Inc., the event premiered five original short films created by 23 students participating in the “Reel Funny” program.

Unlike traditional film programs, Reel Funny uses media production as a vehicle for personal growth rather than just technical instruction. The program guides students through a series of workshops focused on “soft skills”—including conflict resolution, recognizing internal bias, and establishing healthy personal boundaries. Students are then challenged to apply these lessons by collaborating in groups to write, produce, and edit their own films entirely independently.

A unique and critical component of the Reel Funny process is its integration of mental health professional oversight. Following the students’ film submissions, Eun Joo You, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with Care Plus New Jersey, conducted a specialized screening of the works. This clinical review serves to evaluate student mental wellness and identify early signs of emotional distress, followed by direct engagement with the students to discuss their creative themes and overall well-being.

“The opportunity for our students to engage in this type of work is paramount to their development as well-rounded individuals,” said Kevin McCaskill, Principal of Brockton High School. “When we talk about preparing the next generation of leaders, we aren’t just talking about academics; we are talking about the emotional intelligence and self-awareness that programs like ‘Reel Funny’ provide. These films are a powerful reflection of their growth.”

The celebration invited friends, families, and local community members to acknowledge the leadership and vulnerability displayed by these young creators.

“This program empowers students to turn self-reflection into a leadership tool,” said Joonho Lee, CEO of Kbean®, a primary supporter of the initiative. “By giving students the autonomy to produce these films on their own terms, we see a level of authenticity that traditional education often misses.”

Looking Ahead: The SALT 12 National Showcase 
The Brockton High School festival serves as a qualifying event for the 3rd Annual SALT 12 Film Festival scheduled for the end of 2026. SALT 12 is a national platform that gathers the most impactful student films from across the country, allowing participants to share their voices with a public audience and compete for national recognition.
