Optimal Hypotonic SolutionProduct Codes: GGS-JL005a (250ml) / GGS-JL005b (1000ml)
Optimal Hypotonic Solution is a newly formulated hypotonic solution which achieves optimum metaphase swelling (spreading) from difficult cells that are prone to be either under-spread or overspread, and where conventional hypotonics achieve inadequate cell swelling. Optimal Hypotonic Solution increases cell volume, allowing the chromosomes more room to spread out. Well spread chromosomes with few cross-overs greatly facilitate analysis. Although developed for acute leukaemia bone marrows and tumour specimens, it has also proved useful with problem blood harvests.
