Cytocell offers a complete range of Satellite probes available in the Aquariusliquid format. The probes are chromosome specific sequences generated from highly repeated human satellite DNA sequences located in the centromeric, pericentromeric or heterochromatic regions of each chromosome. They are available independently and directly labelled in either a red or green fluorophore (Texas Red or FITC spectra respectively).
The probes are produced in a concentrated form to allow the mixing, if required, of up to 3 other satellite probes in the same hybridisation.
The kits are supplied in an economical 5 test format and come complete with hybridisation solution and DAPI counterstain. The protocol is rapid and simple and follows a co-denaturation of the FISH probe and target DNA simultaneously. Reference Table
The probes are designed for use in fluorescence in situ hybridisation analysis of human metaphase chromosomes from cultured peripheral blood cells.
