Chromoprobe Multiprobe® - System OctoChrome
Cytocell's Chromoprobe Multiprobe System OctoChrome combines the utility of an 8 square Multiprobe device and whole chromosome painting probes, labelled in 3 different colours, to allow the simultaneous analysis of all 24 chromosomes on one slide in one hybridisation.
Each square of the Multiprobe device carries whole chromosome painting probes for three different chromosomes in three different colour fluorophores, red, green and blue (Texas Red, FITC and Coumarin spectra respectively) which are visible simultaneously with a DAPI/FITC/Texas Red triple filter.
The arrangement of chromosome combinations on the OctoChrome device has been designed to facilitate the identification of the non-random chromosome rearrangements found in the most common leukaemias.
The Chromoprobe Multiprobe System is designed for fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) of metaphase cells from fixed cultured peripheral blood cells.

Whole Chromosome Painting probes consist of libraries of DNA sequences derived from flow-sorted chromosomes. The probes are available independently and directly labelled in either a red or a green fluorophore (Texas Red or FITC spectra respectively).
2,5 or 10 devices Cat No. PMP802/804/803
- Alternative to M-FISH and SKY.
- Screening device for a quick and simple identification of marker chromosomes.
- Single slide assay with all 24 chromosomes represented, allowing the screening of the whole genome in one experiment, on one slide.
- Three whole chromosome painting probes in three different colours per square allowing instant and accurate interpretation of results.
- Single slide per patient providing an easy and permanent record of the probe hybridisation results.
- Results are visible in situ using a conventional fluorescence microscope; there is no need for additional interpretation or expensive equipment.
