VYSIS FISH GENETICS

Identification and characterization of chromosome anomalies in preimplantation, prenatal, and postnatal genetics is critical for managing quality of life. 

FISH is a powerful tool for determining many types of chromosome anomalies. In addition to AneuVysion, an FDA-cleared product for rapid detection of aneusomy in amniotic fluid samples, Molecular Diagnostics offers an expansive line of DNA FISH probes for preimplantation, prenatal, and postnatal genetic testing research.

VYSIS FISH TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES: 

• Rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of characterization of chromosome abnormalities
• Ability to test metaphase chromosome from cultured samples and interphase cells from specimens that cannot be cultured 
• Direct labeled probes as compared to indirect labeling methods provide 
  • Less background signal, which simplifies interpretation 
  • Reduced costs associated with labeling reagents and technician time
