Cytocell offers a comprehensive range of single Whole Chromosome Painting probes available in the Aquarius liquid format. The probes consist of libraries of DNA sequences derived from flow-sorted chromosomes. These libraries contain sequences stretching over the entire length of the chromosome and provide superior coverage of each human chromosome.

The probes are available independently and directly labelled in either a red or a green fluorophore (Texas Red or FITC spectra respectively). They are ready to use in hybridisation solution. The kits are supplied in an economical 5 test format and come complete with DAPI counterstain.
Applications include analysis of chromosome partners involved in translocations; in identification of the chromosome of origin of marker chromosomes; confirmation of results obtained from M-FISH and SKY testing and may be of particular interest to those studying mutagenesis of human chromosomes as a result of exposure to genotoxic agents.
The probes are designed for use in fluorescence in situ hybridisation analysis of human metaphase chromosomes from cultured peripheral blood cells.
