Leica CW4000 MFISH
 
  Leica CW4000 Modules
   
The Leica CW4000 MFISH application is a flexible, easy to use package that reflects the need for a versatile multi-colour imaging system, as highlighted by recent developments in MFISH technology. The applications flexibility is shown in it's proven ability to:

  • Analyse samples from combinatorial labelling schemes using 5, 6 or 7 fluorochromes.

  • Study whole chromosomes, telomeres or specific regions of chromosomes.

  • Adapt to the study of MFISH samples from any species

 

    
In addition Leica CW4000 MFISH allows:

  • Classification of chromosomes according to labelling schemes of either commercially available MFISH kits or adaptable to non-commercial kits.

  • Display of individual fluorochromes, colour composite image or classification image with classification colours.

  • The classification of each pixel according to a combinatorial labelling scheme choice of three different algorithms for maximum flexibility.
