PRODUCT SNAPSHOT MicroFISH Assay System Making FISH Simple and Cost-Effective The MicroFISH® Assay System is a clinically proven technology that condenses a FISH panel of up to 8 probes onto a single slide, using just 1 microliter of cell sample and probe per hybridization. Labs can save up to $400 in probe reagent per panel. Uses a simple workflow so technicians can set up slides in a fraction of the time. • Cuts probe cost per test up to 90% • Reduces technician hands-on time >75% • Produces consistently high quality probe signals • Optional automated slide preparation available Simple Workflow Dispense 1 |al of fixed cells into wells to receive probe, pretreat if desired, then add 1 |al of the probe solutions. Place a single 22x50 mm coverslip over the wells — rubber cement is not required! Denature in the CytoBrite System then transfer to a humidity-controlled MicroFISH Hybridization Oven. After probe hybridization, the Little Dipper Processor automatically shakes off coverslips then washes and dries slides ready for counterstaining and visualization. MicroFISH® Workflow AUTOMATED PREP Scorpion Robot Drops Cells/Adds Probe Place Coverslip DENATURE CytoBrite® System Provides accurate temperatures with built-in verification. Single Slide for Up to 8 Probes INCUBATEl MicroFISH® Hyb Oven Regulates both temperature and humidity to enhance probe signals. AUTOMATED WASH l Optional Automated Slide Preparation Have high sample volume? The clinically validated Scorpion™ Slide Preparation Robot automates cell and probe dispensing for up to 12 MicroFISH slides in under 30 minutes. The instrument provides detailed patient reports and tracks probe inventories. The Scorpion also produces paper and electronic score sheets; ready for entering counts by slide readers. Little Dipper® for FISH Controls wash temperature and time to lock-in signals.
