Intended Use
To prepare paraffin-embedded tissue sections fixed on positively charged slides for use in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with Vysis Multi-color DNA FISH probes.
Summary and Principle
The procedure that follows has been designed to maximize tissue permeability for FISH when using Vysis Multi-color DNA FISH probes.
Reagents Provided in Kit Kit Order #32-801210 For Laboratory Use
Reagent | Quantity | Composition | Storage |
Pretreatment Solution | 5 x 50 mL | Sodium Thiocyanate (NaSCN) | 2 to 25 °C |
Protease Buffer II | 5 x 62.5 mL | 0.2 N HCl, pH 1.0 | 2 to 25 °C |
Protease | 5 x 250 mg | 2500 - 3000 U/mg protease, lyophilized | -20 to 8 °C |
Materials Required but not Provided
Sample Slides Preparation
Note: Use samples that were fixed in formalin for between 24-48 hours.
Deparaffinizing Slides
Slide Pretreatment
Protease Pretreatment
Fixing the Sample
Note: Fixation of the sample is performed to minimize tissue loss during sample denaturation. This procedure is highly recommended when processing samples in a denaturatrion bath format.
