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.

Human Rainbow*FISH probes visualize 6 chromosomes per set (1-6, 7-12, 13-18 and 16-Y). Covering the entire genome in just four experiments, the Rainbow*FISH probes are quick and easy to use. The probes utilize biotin, FITC and Cy3, so there is no need to buy new filters or software. The probes come ready to use with hybridization buffer. Use detection kits SFP2050 or SFP2927 with this product.

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.
