Oxford Gene FISH probes

Sep 14, 2016

Oxford Gene Technology has launched two CE-IVD labelled fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes: the Cytocell Aquarius ROS1 Plus Breakapart and RET Breakapart probes. The new probes detect rearrangements in the genome associated with non-small cell lung cancer and expand the company's extensive lung cancer portfolio. They are available in two economical sizes and are both premixed in hybridization buffer.
