HiKaryoXL™ Nutrient Mixture F-10 Ham Medium

Cytogenetic studies include metaphase and pro-metaphase studies carried out on lymphocytes to detect chromosomal aberrations associated with structural and numerical abnormalities. Lymphocytes come from normal peripheral blood and are mitotically inactive, hence have to be stimulated with a mitogen such as Phytohemagglutinin M(PHA-M) or Phytohemagglutinin P(PHA-P). AL185A is composed of a basal medium Nutrient Mixture F-10 Ham and supplemented with L-glutamine, FBS, penicillin, streptomycin and sodium bicarbonate. It does not contain PHA-M or PHA-P.
