The TMPRSS2 Breakapart Probe consists of three red probes (191kb, 152kb and 161kb), which are telomeric to the TMPRSS2 gene and begin centromeric to the D21S1863 marker. Four green probes (235kb, 149kb, 143kb and 91kb) are also included that are centromeric to the TMPRSS2 gene and begin centromeric to the D21S1906 marker.
We have successfully used CytoCell haematology probes over the last 5 years and were looking for the same quality and consistency for our FISH pathology screening. OGT worked closely with us to help our lab evaluate – and later validate – CytoCell pathology probes. CytoCell is now our primary FISH probe supplier. Results have been excellent and we were able to consolidate our workflow to follow a single, streamlined protocol.
