Automated cell imaging system CytoVision®

for karyotypingFISH

Overview
Keep your molecular testing in-house to reduce turnaround time, costs and workflow complexity. ISH and FISH are core techniques for RNA/DNA detection in diagnostics and research. Automating staining and slide preparation reduces manual, delicate and repetitive tasks while improving reproducibility and throughput.

Featured solutions

• Kreatech FISH Probes: probes using proprietary REPEAT-FREE subtractive hybridization to remove repetitive genomic elements and improve signal-to-noise ratio.
• Novocastra ISH Probes: probes paired with detection systems and ancillary reagents to enable reliable RNA sequence detection.
• ThermoBrite: economical instrument to reduce hands-on steps in FISH slide preparation and improve workflow consistency.
• BOND IHC/ISH Systems: fully automated platforms configurable for diagnostic or research IHC/ISH workflows to deliver speed, reliability and accuracy.
