Natera specializes in genetic testing and diagnostics within the healthcare sector. The company uses cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing to analyze small DNA fragments in the blood, which helps in detecting minimal traces of cancer in patients, guiding treatment decisions. One of their key products is the Signatera test, a custom ctDNA test for cancer patients, available through a remote access program. Natera also focuses on organ health for transplant patients, using cfDNA testing to monitor transplanted organs for potential issues. Additionally, they provide tests for women's health, including family planning and prenatal screening, with their Panorama NIPT being a notable product that has conducted over 2 million tests. Natera differentiates itself by offering specialized testing services directly to healthcare providers and patients, along with genetic counseling services. The company's goal is to enhance patient care through advanced genetic testing solutions.
