 Karyotyping should be done during the metaphase cycle, when the chromosomes are distinct and easily counted. ​ To obtain a sample with a good number of cells in metaphase, typically blood or skin cells are collected. ​ Some drugs are used to stimulate division and lock cells into metaphase: see [[http://​arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/​hbooks/​genetics/​medgen/​chromo/​cytotech.html|Preparing a Karyotype]]. Karyotyping should be done during the metaphase cycle, when the chromosomes are distinct and easily counted. ​ To obtain a sample with a good number of cells in metaphase, typically blood or skin cells are collected. ​ Some drugs are used to stimulate division and lock cells into metaphase: see [[http://​arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/​hbooks/​genetics/​medgen/​chromo/​cytotech.html|Preparing a Karyotype]].
