Abstract
Staining nucleotides within chromosomes is an important technique used in cytogenetics to produce a visible karyotype by staining condensed chromosomes. Such techniques are useful, for example, in identifying genetic diseases through the photographic representation of the entire chromosome complement. Prior to the steps of selective dissolving and staining of nucleotides within the chromosomes an aging step is performed to increase the selective solubility between different nucleotides. Within the prior art this aging step is a time consuming process taking several days. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide a staining pretreatment method which can be performed in a short period of time.
