The STAR*FISH system provides an excellent method for the identification of single human chromosomes, and allows the detection of translocations and insertions on metaphase chromosomes. Marker chromosomes can also be identified and complex karyotypes analyzed.

The Paint Box contains 3 tests for each chromosome presented in one convenient palette, which is particularly useful for researchers needing to test for each chromosome.

All STAR*FISH paint systems for whole human chromosomes are Cot-1 free and they are prepared from DOP-PCR-amplified DNA obtained from FACS-sorted chromosomes.

STAR*FISH Paint Boxes are supplied in a ready-to-use format with 3 labels to choose from: Biotin, FITC, or CY3.
