Better signal-to-noise ratio makes data easier to
interpret
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the release
of a range of new probes for in situ hybridization, a technique
used in pathology laboratories to obtain information about gene
expression.
The new probes address the need to cleanly and accurately
interpret data from both fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
and chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH).
The new Agilent SureFISH probes include Break-Apart: MALT1,
BCL2, BCL6, CCND1, MYC, IGH, Dual Fusion: IGH/CCND1, IGH/MYC, and
IGH/BCL2.
The new CISH probes include (ASR) EBER RNA CISH and Kappa and
Lambda mRNA CISH probes.
“Our CISH and SureFISH probes are manufactured with Agilent’s
unique process, which uses synthetic oligonucleotides rather than
the more common bacterial artificial chromosomes,” said Kamni
Vijay, Agilent vice president and general manager of the company’s
genomics division. “This innovative approach ensures high
signal-to-noise ratios with a low background signal, making the
interpretation of the data faster, easier, and more accurate.”
Vijay noted that Agilent’s new probes will bring the precision
of oligonucleotide-based in situ hybridization into more
laboratories.
