FISH, Locus‑Specific Probe (x1)
Use
This test is used for ordering interphase analysis of 100–300 cells by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a single locus‑specific probe. The specific probe must be specified in the test order. If multiple FISH tests are ordered on a specimen without chromosome analysis, a tissue culture test code may be added at an additional charge. If results cannot be obtained, the test order may be canceled and replaced by code 39650 (Cytogenetics Communication).
Special Instructions
The probe must be specified in the test order. Additional analytes may be available; contact the performing laboratory. If one or more FISH tests are ordered on a specimen without chromosome analysis, a tissue culture test code will be added at an additional charge. If results are not possible, the test order may be canceled and replaced by code 39650 Cytogenetics Communication.
