Test information
Test description
Karyolite BoBs is an assay designed to detect p and q arms gains and losses of all 24 chromosomes in DNA samples. Its unique design allows to obtain reliable results even for DNA with low quality : POC (Products of Conception) and few to single cell amplified DNA.
KaryoLite BoBs kit enables the investigation of targeted chromosomal changes in extracted DNA. It provides information about DNA copy number changes on the level of chromosome arms. Clones are targeted to each chromosome arm of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes, and to q-arms of acrocentric chromosomes. Each arm includes at least two probes, one on the subtelomeric part of the chromosome and the other on the distal part of the chromosome. Each probe, on the other hand, is composed of DNA derived from three BACs. The product is not intended for studies of cryptic (sub)telomeric rearrangements.
The analysis comprises hybridization of labeled sample and reference DNA to their complementary BACs-on-Beads probes. Sample hybridizations are performed in singlicates, and the references are hybridized in duplicates as two labeling reactions are performed for the reference DNAs. After hybridization, the signal intensities are read using the Luminex® 100/200™ instrument system with either IS 2.3 or xPONENT® 3.1 software versions. BoBsoft™ analysis software takes in the Luminex® 100/200™ instrument system output file and is used to compare signal intensities between sample and references to identify DNA copy number changes across the target regions.
Indications for testing
- Products of conception.
- Direct CVS: alternative to direct CVS culturing .
- PGS: Preimplantation Genetic Screening for aneuploid embryos.
Test methods and limitations
Detailed sample requirements
Cultured Amniocytes
| SPECIAL SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS |
Please contact a Revvity Omics Laboratory genetic counselor for information on prenatal test requests and acceptable sample types. |
|---|
DNA, Isolated
| Collection |
Required DNA Quantity by Test Type*:
|
|---|---|
| Sample Condition |
* Required DNA Quality: High molecular weight DNA (>12kb). A260/A280 reading should be ≥ 1.8. A260/230 a ratio range of 1.8 to 2.2. Contact the laboratory for specific amounts if total ng cannot be met. |
| Shipping |
Ship overnight at ambient temperature. |
| SPECIAL SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS |
|
Cultured Chorionic Villi
| Collection Container(s) |
Two T-25 flasks |
|---|---|
| Collection |
All prenatal specimens will be tested for maternal cell contamination (MCC). Send maternal blood (EDTA tube) for comparison. If blood is unavailable, we will accept genomic DNA and Saliva sample types. |
| Sample Condition |
Transfer cultured amniocytes or cultured CVS to two T-25 flasks at ≥80% confluence. |
| Shipping |
Cultures topped off with sterile medium and shipped immediately at ambient temperature by overnight express with arrival Monday-Friday only. |
| SPECIAL SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS |
For prenatal samples, Revvity Omics will provide a shipping label to use for shipping the sample to our lab. Please call 1 (866) 354-2910 to arrange this. At this time, you will also be connected to a laboratory genetic counselor to answer any questions about the testing. For samples originating outside of the United States, please contact your nearest Revvity Omics laboratory for more information. |
Amniotic Fluid
| SPECIAL SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS |
Please contact a Revvity Omics Laboratory genetic counselor for information on prenatal test requests and acceptable sample types. |
|---|
Whole Blood (EDTA)
| Collection Container(s) |
EDTA (purple top) |
|---|---|
| Collection |
Infants (< 2-years): 2 to 3 mL; Children (>2-years): 3 to 5 mL; Older children and adults: Minimum 5mL. The blood tube should be inverted several times immediately after blood collection to prevent coagulation. |
| Sample Condition |
