Chromosome Enumeration Probes

Chromosome enumeration probes (CEP) are chromosome-specific FISH probes that hybridize to highly repetitive human satellite DNA sequences, usually located near centromeres.  CEP^® signals are bright, and enable the identification and enumeration of human chromosomes in interphase and metaphase cells from fresh and archived samples.  CEPs are used commonly to study polar bodies, blastomeres, prenatal samples, tumors, and hematological malignancies.

Storage Conditions: -20°C for all DNA products.
Protect from exposure to direct light.

Note: Vysis^® FISH probes are formulated with appropriate concentration of blocking DNA to provide optimal performance in a variety of specimen types. Some probes are provided pre-mixed in Hybridization Buffer and predenatured.
