Peripheral Blood for Karyotyping Single Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Peripheral Blood for Karyotyping Single Test at a cost of AED 750.0. This test is performed using Cell culture methodology and requires a sample of Peripheral blood in Sodium Heparin Vacutainer (2ml).
Test Details
Karyotyping is a laboratory technique used to analyze an individual’s chromosomes. It involves arranging and pairing the chromosomes to identify any structural or numerical abnormalities, such as missing or extra chromosomes. Peripheral blood is commonly used for karyotyping.
To obtain a sample for karyotyping, a healthcare professional will perform a venipuncture, which involves collecting a small amount of blood from a vein, usually in the arm. The collected blood sample is then sent to our laboratory where the white blood cells, specifically lymphocytes, are isolated.
The isolated cells are cultured and stimulated to divide, allowing for the chromosomes to be visualized and analyzed. The chromosomes are stained and examined under a microscope, and a karyotype is created by arranging the chromosomes in pairs based on their size, shape, and banding patterns.
This karyotype can then be analyzed for any abnormalities, helping in the diagnosis of various genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, or chromosomal translocations. It can also be used to determine the sex of an individual and assess the risk of certain genetic conditions.

Test Details |
Karyotyping is a laboratory technique used to analyze an individual’s chromosomes. It involves arranging and pairing the chromosomes to identify any structural abnormalities or numerical abnormalities, such as missing or extra chromosomes. Peripheral blood is the blood that circulates through the veins and arteries, and it is commonly used for karyotyping. To obtain a sample for karyotyping, a healthcare professional will typically perform a venipuncture, which involves inserting a needle into a vein, usually in the arm, and collecting a small amount of blood into a tube. Once the blood sample is collected, it is sent to a laboratory where the white blood cells are isolated. White blood cells, specifically lymphocytes, are used for karyotyping because they contain the complete set of chromosomes. The cells are then cultured and stimulated to divide, allowing for the chromosomes to be visualized and analyzed. The chromosomes are stained and examined under a microscope, and a karyotype is created by arranging the chromosomes in pairs according to their size, shape, and banding patterns. This karyotype can then be analyzed for any abnormalities. Karyotyping from peripheral blood is a commonly used technique in clinical genetics and can help diagnose various genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, or chromosomal translocations. It can also be used to determine the sex of an individual and to assess the risk of certain genetic conditions. |
