Karyotyping Chromosome Analysis Used in Genetics Testing

Chromosome analysis, also called karyotyping, is a test done to examine the chromosomes in a cell sample. Examining chromosomes in this manner helps identify any genetic causes of disease or disorder. Karyotype testing can be performed on cells or tissues such as blood, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, and even placental tissues.

When examining the chromosomes, physical characteristics such as size, length, banding patterns, and centromere position are noted. A photograph is also taken of the arrangement of chromosomes. Some chromosomal abnormalities or issues can be identified through the number of chromosomes or their arrangement of the chromosomes.

Karyotyping is commonly performed on a child with developmental delays or other abnormal features, or on couples who have experienced multiple miscarriages, to determine if there is a genetic issue at play. Additionally, microarray testing and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) testing may also be performed.

Contract Laboratory has received many requests from organizations needing laboratories to perform their chromosomal analysis and karyotype testing and research, such as:

  • A pharmaceutical company needs a genetics laboratory for Karyotyping and chromosomal painting
  • University Medical Researcher needs a Canada cytology laboratory for cell karyotype testing for research purposes
  • San Diego California Blood Laboratory needed for blood testing: Peripheral blood Karyotype molecular
  •  Europe Biotech needs FDA GMP Genetics Laboratory for Karyotype analysis in GMP with a validated method
  • Denmark, Germany, France, Sweden Veterinary Medicine Laboratory needed for genetics Testing To establish normal karyotype of cattle for international trade
  • Biopharmaceutical Manufacturer needs a USA FDA GLP/ GMP bioanalytical laboratory for GLP / GMP genetics testing: karyotyping canine cells for sex
  • California Medical Laboratory needed Karyotype testing for analysis r/t infertility / chronic miscarriage
  • Canada Genetics Laboratory is needed for DNA fingerprinting, karyotyping, and relationships of DNA, RNA, Adenosine Triphosphate, mitochondria, and creatinine to hereditary dominant, dominant recessive, and recessive degenerative disorders of the nervous system including muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, and Huntington’s Disease.

And many more. To see other examples of how Contract Laboratory has helped medical researchers, healthcare providers, and  pharmacutical, biotechnology, and healthcare companies with their karyotyping and other Genetics Testing and Scientific Research Projects  View Genetics Test Requests
