Aquarius probes are directly labelled liquid probes provided in hybridisation solution. The probes are accompanied by DAPI counterstain to provide a complete fluorescence in situ hybridisation kit.
Aquarius* Overview
The Aquarius range consists of directly labelled FISH probes for constitutional cytogenetic and oncology (both pathology and haematology) applications.
The probe mixtures are designed for use on interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes from cultured peripheral blood cells or cultured bone marrow samples. There are a wide range of probes in the Aquarius range targeting common FISH signals like breakapart, deletion, translocation, dual fusion, or amplification catered to the customers’ needs.
*All Probes have multiple regulatory status CE-IVD or RUO. Availability is dependent on local country regulatory status. Please contact your local Sysmex Representative for more information.
Benefits of using Aquarius probes
All Aquarius probes are supplied in hybridisation solution and are either ready to use or only require a simple dilution with additional hybridisation solution, which is conveniently supplied in the kit.
The satellite and sub-telomere specific probes are available in a 5-test format whereas the microdeletion syndrome and haematology probes are available in an economical 5 and the standard 10 test formats. Prenatal probes are also available in 30 or 50 test formats.
Our comprehensive range of over 400 Aquarius probes allow ease of visualisation with standard (FITC, Texas Red®, aqua and DAPI) microscope filters.
