Amniomed ® Smart is a highly specialized medium for in vitro culture, growth of human amniotic fluid cells and chorionic villi biopsy samples used in cytogenetic applications for karyotyping and Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) purposes.
Amniomed ® Smart is also recommended for short incubation (24-48 hours) of chorionic villi samples, for the so called “direct method” using cytotrophoblast spontaneous metaphases for karyotyping purposes. As a complete, ready to use medium, it contains all the necessary growth factors, L-glutamine, phenol red, sodium bicarbonate, antibiotics and FBS. The innovative formulation provides a more efficient and fast cell attachment and growth, resulting in earlier chromosome analysis, and reduces handling steps and the possibility of contamination.
