Oxford Gene Technology launches new Cytocell Aquarius FISH probes

Oxford Gene Technology has announced the launch of a new range of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) products.

Nine new Cytocell Aquarius probes have been launched, including the ETV6 Proximal Probe Green, ETV6 Distal Probe Red, MPO Probe Red, TP53 Probe Green, NUP214 Probe Red, DEK Probe Green, TAS2R1 (5p15.31) Probe Green, Chromosome 9 Satellite III Probe Aqua and Chromosome 15 Alpha Satellite Probe Red options.

Designed to be cost-effective and quality-assured, the probes produce specific, high-intensity signals with excellent contrast and minimal background, as well as being optimised for use with common sample types.

Further advantages come from the fact the probes are pre-mixed in hybridisation buffer, increasing the ease of use and reducing the margin for errors in the laboratory.

Faidra Partheniou, haematology product manager at Oxford Gene Technology, said: "OGT offers the largest portfolio of FISH probes available and we look forward to announcing further new probes in the near future."

This comes after the firm recently launched its new SureSeq FFPE DNA Repair Mix, for use in the repair of FFPE-derived DNA.
