Cytogenetics and Genomics Laboratory

Cryopreservation

Cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen

DNA extration

DNA extration from different biological samples.

High resolution banding karyotype

The study of the constitutional karyotype makes it possible to observe the entire genome, being able to identify both balanced and unbalanced structural chromosomal alterations, as well as alterations in the number of chromosomes and mosaics.

Molecular Cytogenetics - Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)

Molecular cytogenetics (FISH) allows a more detailed study of specific chromosomal regions, increasing the resolving power of conventional cytogenetics. The LCG provides an extensive library of FISH probes.

Molecular Rapid Aneuploidy

The rapid screening of the most common aneuploidies allows, in a short period of time (24h-72h), to evaluate the ploidy (number) of chromosomes 13, 18 and 21 and of the sex chromosomes X and Y.

Prenatal Diagnosis

The LCG performs a wide variety of exams in Prenatal. The fetal genome can be analyzed more widely, by molecular karyotype (aCGH) and constitutional karyotyope, More specific techniques like FISH, MLPA and MS-MLPA can also be performed whenever necessary.

Tissue Culture

Tissue culture of different tissues.
