IVD Whole Chromosome Probes

Whole Chromosome Paints (chromosome-specific paints) are cocktails of unique sequence probes that recognize the unique sequences spanning the length of a particular chromosome. They provide landmarks for specific chromosomes or parts of chromosomes and are used to study a specific region of the genome. Among other applications, paint probes are used to define the chromosomal origin of derivative segments on translocation chromosomes or supernumerary markers. Several chromosome specific paints labeled with different fluorochromes can be used together to detect multiple target chromosomes.

Whole Chromosome probes are optimized to detect unique sequences spanning the length of individual entire chromosomes in human metaphase spreads.

Note: Whole Chromosome Paint Probes are not recommended for interphase analysis.
