Meanwhile, the removed cell is analyzed to determine if the embryo has CAH.

Fetal cells in the fluid are then analyzed for a possible chromosomal abnormality, a process that takes up to two weeks.

After washing three times, cells were analyzed on the flow cytometer.

Fetal cells are floating in the fluid and can be analyzed.

Fetal cells, which float in this fluid, are then analyzed.

Generally 20 cells are analyzed which is enough to rule out mosaicism to an acceptable level.

With chorionic villus sampling, the cells can be analyzed immediately.

Those cells could be directed to turn into brain cells, and then analyzed to determine what goes wrong, when, and why.

The cells are then cultured in a laboratory and analyzed.

Test material can be added to the overlying medium and both media and cells can be analyzed individually.
