We are proud to introduce our new At-home Baby Gender Test with fuss-free, home sample collection using our innovative TinyTAP device!
Expectant parents can now find out the sex of their baby from as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy for a 99% accurate result, with only a blood sample from mum required.
Unlike other laboratories that require a blood sample to be collected from a vein in the arm, our At-home Baby Gender Test simply requires a small blood sample that can be self-collected at home with our easy-to-use, pain-free TinyTAP device.
We are the ONLY laboratory in Ireland to offer the TinyTAP at-home sample collection for baby gender testing, with no additional fees, and no clinical appointments required.
Simply use TinyTAP to collect your sample in the comfort of your own home and return it to our accredited laboratory to find out if you’re expecting a boy or a girl in as little as 3-4 days!

Why TinyTAP for baby gender testing?
Our TinyTAP device offers total convenience for expectant parents who want to find out the sex of their baby ahead of time.
All we need for the test is a blood sample from mum, which can be collected by pressing the TinyTAP device against the upper arm.
Your test kit will contain everything you need to collect your sample and return it safely to our laboratory for analysis.
As well as being 100% safe and risk-free for mum and baby, our At-home Baby Gender Test is ideal for people who are needle-phobic or have poor vein access – with TinyTAP removing the need for a traditional venous blood draw.
Plus, unlike finger prick blood sample collection (offered by some laboratories), the device significantly reduces the possibility of male DNA contamination, which can affect the results of a baby gender test.
Here’s what Jo, who took our At-home Baby Gender Test, had to say about her experience:
“A wonderful experience from start to finish! Everything you need will come with the kit, with clear and visual instructions on how to use. Nothing has been overlooked in this experience, from the speed of the delivery to the clear packaging and instructions – even the heat pad for warming your arm beforehand is included! The TinyTAP device was quick, easy, and painless to use with no mess or fussing around. We were shocked at how quickly the results came back and would definitely recommend AlphaBiolabs to anyone having a baby!”
How does baby gender testing work?
Baby gender testing using a blood sample from mum is the most accurate way to determine a baby’s sex before the baby is born.
This advanced scientific method can determine whether your baby is a boy or a girl from as early as six weeks into pregnancy, with 99% accuracy.
This is because, from around 6 weeks into pregnancy, small amounts of the baby’s DNA begin circulating in the mother’s blood stream, meaning highly sensitive testing methods can be used to screen the mother’s blood sample for the presence of a Y chromosome.
Because the Y chromosome is only found in males, its presence in the mother’s blood indicates that the baby is a boy. If no Y chromosome is detected, this indicates that the baby is a girl.
For the highest chance of a conclusive result, the mother must be at least 6 weeks pregnant to ensure that any Y chromosome present in the blood sample is at a detectable level.
