The IGH/CCND1 product consists of probes, labeled in green, covering the Constant, J, D and Variable segments of the IGH gene, and CCND1 probes labeled in red. The CCND1 probe mix contains a 267kb probe centromeric to CCND1 gene, covering the region between the D11S1100 and the D11S4095 markers, and a second 223kb probe covering the telomeric end of CCND1 gene.
It was very important for us to have more consistent results with our probes — easy-to-read bright signals and a range of vial sizes, which is much more cost-effective. It also was critical to upgrade our pretreatment kit to expedite the analysis of FFPE samples. We can now complete the process in about 90 minutes.
