The double test is a blood sample where the blood is examined for two different things (PAPP-A and beta-HCG). They are formed in the placenta, and if the fetus has Down syndrome, these two markers will typically deviate from the normal.

The double test sample is not taken at our clinic but at a laboratory

We start the appointment with a scan to determine the term, and afterwards, you will be referred to one of these four laboratories.

Amager, Amsterdamvej2
Glostrup, Hovedvejen 91, 2’end floor
Hvidovre Hospital
Amager Hospital

The laboratories are primarily open before noon.

We then make an appointment for a nuchal translucency scan, when we know how far ahead you are in your pregnancy.

It is optional to book an appointment for a double test over the phone, there is no drop in and you cannot make an appointment on the website.
