Useful For

Producing fibroblast cultures that can be used for genetic analysis

 

Once confluent flasks are established, the fibroblast cultures are sent to

other laboratories, either within Mayo Clinic or to external sites, based on

the specific testing requested.

 

This test should be used when the specimen is chorionic villi or when

cytogenetic testing is needed. For other specimen types and any other

genetic testing, we recommend ordering #8482 "Fibroblast Culture," as

these specimens are cryopreserved indefinitely once testing is complete.
