We offer the Star*FISH paint system as well as a wide range of probes from Cytotest
THESE PRODUCTS ARE FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY.
Star*FISHTM Pan-centromeric, and telomeric paints are available labelled with FITC, Cy3 or biotin. The latter allows use of any fluorochrome coupled to streptavidin. Star*FISH paints are available in concentrated form for performing multiple staining experiments. This prevents the possible reduction of signal encountered when multiple paints are applied to the same slide. These probes are supplied with separate hybridisation buffer to allow optimisation of each experiment.
For any Cytotest probe price enquiries please email tech@cambio.co.uk with the relevant catalogue number.
CytoTest Fluorophores
CytoTest FISH probes are manufactured with genomic DNA obtained
either from microdissected human chromosomes or cloned DNA fragments,
depending on the probe type. The probes are labeled with the following
fluorophores. The maximum peaks of excitation and emission wavelength
for each dye and for DAPI (Dihydrochloride
4',6’ -Diamidino - 2 - phenylindole) counterstain are listed below. For
optimal results, microscope filter sets must be selected which are
compatible with the fluorescence of the probes.
