For this application it is sufficient to use a precise manipulator, e.g. the TransferMan NK 2. The chromosomes are so tiny that they fragment even when touched. They stick to the tip because of electrostatical power. Just break the tip into a tube. Your sample can then be extracted by standard kits.
