Oxford Gene Technology Cytocell Pathology FISH Probes

Jul 31, 2015

Oxford Gene Technology has added eight new probes to its portfolio of CytocellPathology FISH probes. The new additions include pathology FISH probes for 1q25, 1p36, 19p13, 19q13, ROS1-GOPC, and RET. OGT said that it also offers a large number of other probes, including hematology and hematopathology probes, as well as whole-chromosome and murine chromosome painting probes. Cytocell FISH probes provide bright signals for accurate scoring leading to consistent results, backed up by full evaluation support from OGT, the company said.
