Karyotype service for porcine cells
Request a quote
Our karyotype service for other species provides G-banding analysis of a minimum of 20 metaphase spreads per sample, delivering a detailed report with the karyotype designation in ISCN nomenclature and at least one publication-quality image. We routinely karyotype cells from a wide range of species including pig (porcine), bovine (cow), canine (dog), non-human primate, chicken (Gallus domesticus), sheep (Ovis aries), goat (Capra hircus), and others on request. This service supports quality control for veterinary cell lines, agricultural breeding programmes, and comparative genomics research. We accept both fixed samples (BSL1 and BSL2, shipped at room temperature) and live cell cultures (BSL1, UK and Europe only). Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days. 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 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.
