( http://www.abnova.com ) - FISH is a technique used to identify and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on cells and tissues. You can use FISH probes for the detection of gene amplification, loss and translocation. Each FISH probe product has a pair of locus-specific, fluorophore-labeled probes originated from a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library.
1. The following FISH probes are ready-to-use, no need of any preparation.
a. Gene FISH Probe (Cat # FGxxxx)
b. Split FISH Probe (Cat # FSxxxx)
c. Translocation FISH Probe (Cat # FTxxxx)
d. Prenatal FISH Probe (Cat # FMxxxx)
e. Made to Order FISH Probe (Ca # FAxxxx)
2. Chromosome FISH Probe (Cat # FCxxxx) and Subtelomere FISH Probe
(Cat # FExxxx) are provided in 5x concentrated format, they should be either:
a. Diluted to 1x with FISH Hybridization Buffer (Cat # U0028 or U0029) before use,
OR
b. Mixed with same category of FISH Probes (up to 5 different probes) to use, for example:
Combine 2 different probes:
1 volume of probe 1 (2 uL) + 1 volume of probe 2 (2 uL)
+ 3 volume of FISH Hybridization Buffer (6 uL)
Combine 3 different probes:
1 volume of probe 1 (2 uL) + 1 volume of probe 2 (2 uL)
+ 1 volume of probe 3 (2 uL) + 2 volume of FISH Hybridization Buffer (4 uL)

Recommended filter set
The table below is a recommendation of filter set use:
Please follow an appropriate protocol below depend on the sample use, these samples include Paraffin embedded tissue (or FFPE), Frozen tissue and Metaphase spreads.
For Paraffin embedded tissue, we recommended FFPE FISH PreTreatmentKit 1(Catalog #: KA2375 or KA2691 for the pretreatment of Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue sections.
