Karyotype Analysis

The leading and reliable service for karyotype analysis for researchers

Please follow the instructions for preparing live and fixed shipments, respectively. Include the following statements on the Customs Invoice: "The packed material is classified as 'not restricted'. The material will be used for laboratory research only. The material contains no pharmaceutical properties."

Karyotype analysis is a cytogenetic test that enables the identification of numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities. Using conventional Giemsa staining techniques, condensed chromosomes are G-banded for observation. Chromosomes are subsequently grouped according to their size, centromere position and banding pattern, and any potential aberrations are identified.

We are able to process both BSL1 and BSL2 samples. In order to accept and process live cells classed as BSL2, we require evidence of the below screening*:

• Confirmation via PCR or equivalent test that the sample material is free of human pathogens (HBV, HCV, HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV I/II, CMV, EBV, HSV-1, HSV-2) from a CLIA-certified lab.
• Confirmation via PCR or equivalent that the sample is free of mycoplasma.

*This screening is not necessary for the receipt of fixed samples.
