Normal Female Karyotype


Complex Tumor/Cell line Characterization Turnaround dependent on complexity of line


Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (3-5 day TAT)

Harvested suspension, Paraffin Embedded Section, Frozen Section, sequential morphology/FISH

NMYC amplification in glioblastoma specimen


Please inquire about additional interpretation costs associated with tissue microarray slides


20 (Mouse) or 24(Human) Color Karyotyping 

24 color karyotype of Complex Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cell

 


Mapping/Custom probe development

If probes are not commercially available for your gene of interest, we can design and manufacture probes specifically for your project.  We are able to manufacture probes for both human and mouse genes. TAT dependent on clone availability.
