Karyotype service for Porcine cells
Request a quote
Cell Guidance Systems offers G-banding karyotype analysis for porcine (Sus scrofa) cell lines, supporting quality control in agricultural research, veterinary genomics, and pig breeding programmes. Each analysis covers a minimum of 20 metaphase spreads per sample, with results reported in ISCNDB 200 nomenclature and accompanied by at least one publication-quality karyotype image. We accept fixed samples at BSL1 and BSL2 containment levels, shipped at room temperature, and live BSL1 cell cultures from UK and European laboratories. Standard turnaround is 10–15 business days from sample receipt. For a full overview of our karyotyping capabilities, see our karyotype analysis service page
This service currently has good availability. Please contact us at [email protected] to schedule sample arrival.
Protocols and workflow
Biosafety level
We are able to process live BSL1 samples only. Fixed samples do not require evidence of screening.
Fixed cell requirements
Please strictly adhere to the following requirements for fixed samples:
- Samples are shipped at room temperature
- Fixed samples are stored in a 2 mL screw cap tube
- Samples are minimum 500 µL in volume
- Please do not send any samples without booking in advance
If you have any questions, please contact us by email at [email protected]. We will respond within one business day.
