✦ Synopsis


Thirty perinatal solid tissue samples were used in a pilot study to test the efficacy of collagenase disaggregation onto coverslips, open system culture under low 0, conditions, pre-harvest incubation in bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and colcemid, and in situ automated harvesting. Following the success of the pilot study, the new method was applied to a further 126 consecutive diagnostic samples making a total of 156. The method reduced average tissue culture times from 17 to 8.7 days (range 2-17), improved success rates from 76 to 88 per cent, and simultaneously increased the resolution of cytogenetic analysis.
