System can now employ three analytical techniques simultaneously
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 12, 2018--
Agilent
Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the release of a new
accessory kit that enables the company’s Dako Omnis system to analyze
tissue samples using three different techniques simultaneously.
With the new kit, the system can now process not only
immunohistochemical (IHC) and fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH) assays, but also chromogenic in situ
hybridization (CISH) assays.
“Now, all the tests for a specific case can be run simultaneously, and
you can get full results in a greatly reduced timeframe, enabling better
patient case management,” said Kirsten Sondersted-Olsen, head of
marketing at Agilent’s Pathology Division.
Dako Omnis is a fully automated, walk-away solution for staining tumor
samples so that pathologists are better able to recognize tissue
structures and cellular details when making a diagnosis.
The new Anti-FITC/AP CISH Accessory Kit for the Dako Omnis system
enables clinicians to detect FITC-labeled probes and convert the
fluorescent signal to a chromogenic endpoint.
With its short CISH protocol and high slide and reagent capacity, Dako
Omnis processes CISH and FISH slides in an IHC-like turnaround time—fast
and with high quality.
All three testing modalities—IHC, FISH, and CISH—can be run at the same
time with minimal impact to turnaround time.
