Abstract
In a study on various factors which are known to influence the growth of amniotic fluid cells for successful cytogenetic analysis in 89 samples, amniotic fluid volume greater than 10 ml enhanced the chance of success (P = 0.0003). The presence of red blood cells reduced the success rate although this was not statistically significant. Among the techniques which proved successful were the use of closed culture method (plastic flasks in which 5% CO2 is blown), and the addition of Ultroser G, which enhances the adhesion and growth of amniotic fluid cells.
