System analyses cell features in single cell preparations and tissue sections, under fluorescent light conditions or in the brightfield mode. Sophisticated image processing algorithms cope with poor slide conditions or weak signals.
System features: Automatic spot counting and fusion detection, Precise quantization at high scanning speed, simultaneous analysis of up to 6 fluorochromes, High quality cell gallery for on screen review and cell relocation, comprehensive data presentation.
The system is utilized for Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), both for interphase nuclei and metaphase spreads. Signals are captured automatically using Metapher platform or manually using ISIS. The system is FDA approved for HER-2 gene amplification tests. The system is also used for karyotyping both using conventional Gimsa stain or M-FISH (picture above). The system is utilized to measure chromosomal copy numbers via a technique termed comparative genomic hybridization (CGH)
The 24XCyte mFISH Probe Kit
The 24XCyte kit contains 24 different chromosome painting probes specific for the 24 different human chromosomes. Each paint is labeled with one of five different fluorochromes or a unique combination of them.
