This laboratory assays alpha-fetoprotein and tests for acetylcholinesterase in amniotic fluid.
Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme expressed exclusively in the nervous system and the neuromuscular junction. This enzyme is only detected in amniotic fluid if the foetus presents a defective closure of the neural tube.
Eurofins Biomnis possesses the mandatory certifications issued by the ARS (Agences Régionales de Santé; French Regional Health Agencies), as well as the technical means and expertise to perform and interpret these different tests.
