Cytocell's prenatal Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH) assays are designed for the rapid and accurate detection of the most common foetal chromosome disorders. Trisomy of chromosome 21 resulting in Down syndrome affects approximately 1 in 800 newborns. Trisomy of 18 results in Edward syndrome and occurs in 1 in 6000 live births. The rarest trisomy, trisomy 13, responsible for Patau syndrome occurs in 1 in 10,000 newborns. Aberrant copy numbers of the X and Y chromosomes can lead to various sex chromosome disorders (such as Klinefelter and Turner syndromes). The kits contain fluorescent probes for easy identification of trisomy 21, 18 and 13 present in Down, Edward and Patau syndromes as well as sex chromosome aneuploidies. Cytocell are able to offer a range of probe combinations. The complete prenatal screen (part code LPA001), used to detect all prenatal enumerations, is available in a range of kit sizes (10, 30 and 50 tests).

The Cytocell Prenatal range features a variety of probe combinations fit for purpose. For more information on the individual probe sets available click on the links below.
