Chromoprobe® Multiprobe-Octochrome System
Protocol
Cytocell's Chromoprobe Multiprobe System OctoChrome combines the utility of an 8 square Multiprobe device and whole chromosome painting probes, labelled in 3 different colours, to allow the simultaneous analysis of all 24 chromosomes on one slide in one hybridisation.

Each square of the Multiprobe device carries whole chromosome painting probes for three different chromosomes in three different colour fluorophores, red, green and blue (Texas Red, FITC and Coumarin spectra respectively) which are visible simultaneously with a DAPI/FITC/Texas Red triple filter.
The arrangement of chromosome combinations on the OctoChrome device has been designed to facilitate the identification of the non-random chromosome rearrangements found in the most common leukaemias.

The Chromoprobe Multiprobe System is designed for fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) of metaphase cells from fixed cultured peripheral blood cells.
