Metaphase Spreading
 This devise enables anyone to create metaphase spread slides ideal for genomic analysis such as FISH, CGH, or G-banding. It allows consistent specimen preparation of metaphases by controlling the environmental conditions in which the slides are made. Minimising chromosome overlaps in spreads makes analysis easier and more reliable, which streamlines routine work. Improved spreading of chromosomes from difficult tissues such as bone marrows is also possible with this device.
Characteristics:
- Consistent Spreading
- Rapid stabilising of the internal environment
- Increased yield of analysable Metaphases.
- Controlled environment achieved by adjusting the dryness index.
- Sample fluid volume: 10-30µl/sample
- 5 slides with either one or two areas can be created concurrently.
