KaryoStat+ with Cell ID Assay Service is a fast and cost-effective alternative to typical G-banded karyotyping that evaluates both genetic stability and SNP-based cell identification. KaryoStat+ service leverages the CytoScan HT-CMA 96F Assay Kit, offering whole-genome coverage for accurate detection of chromosomal aberrations in human primary and stem cells. Cell ID leverages the KaryoStat Assay to compare genotypes across samples.

The KaryoStat+ with Cell ID Assay Service offers:

• Fast data delivery – turnaround time of four weeks or less
• Convenient sample prep – assay uses frozen cell pellet, eliminating need for shipping live cells
• Higher resolution – microarray resolution five times higher than traditional G-banding
• Exceptional support – a dedicated project manager for frequent project communication
• Broad cell type compatibility – all non-transformed human cell types accepted

How the KaryoStat+ with Cell ID Assay Service works:

• You send a pellet with two million cryopreserved cells to our laboratory for processing.
• We isolate high-quality genomic DNA.
• We quantify the DNA with a Qubit Fluorometer.
• We process the genomic DNA on the NIMBUS Target Preparation Instrument.
• We load DNA samples into the CytoScan HT-CMA 96F Assay plate.
• We perform hybridization, washing, and imaging on the GeneTitan MC Instrument.
• We analyze your data using Chromosome Analysis Suite software.

How the Cell Identification Assay works:

• We apply DNA samples to the KaryoStat Assay microarray chip.
• We process genomic DNA on the GeneChip Instrument System.
• We analyze your data using Chromosome Analysis Suite software.

What you get

You will receive a comprehensive report that includes a Cell ID correlation plot and a whole genome view that visually calls out chromosomal aberrations in your sample if they are detected. In addition, you will receive a data file with the full details of the chromosomal aberrations in your submitted sample.
