Karyotyping:

• Karyotyping from blood, tissues and cell lines
• Karyotyping with routine staining or G-banding of chromosomes
• Molecular cytogenetic analysis using Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH)

FISH Analysis:

Carried out by request only and is used for:

• Unequivocal identification of chromosomes involved in autosomal or sex chromosome aneuploidies
• Refinement of the analysis of complex chromosomal rearrangements (translocations, inversions, deletions)
• Gene mapping

Specific details and cost of FISH experiments depend on the species, availability of hybridization probes and the aim of the experiment. Therefore, the prospective customers are advised to contact us beforehand to discuss the details. Approximate cost for one FISH experiment (including the probe, labeling, detection and image analysis) is $300.

FKBP6 Genotyping:

Test for Thoroughbred stallion subfertility from blood or hair follicles

Sample Collection and Shipping:

• Blood samples (PDF)
• Biopsies and tissues collection to establish primary cell cultures for karyotyping (PDF)
• Transport of attached/unattached cell cultures (PDF)
