Hello Debbie,
As usual, I can not offer an unbiased opinion. However, InnoGenex does carry
many FISH detection systems and two Her-2 probes[one DNA probe & one mRNA
probe]. The systems are sensitive, fast and very consistent ; the ISH kits
are currently used in diagnostic assays at major hospitals/research
institutions(want a reference?).
I have enclosed a manual from one of the FISH kits. If you would like the
data sheets for the two Her-2 probes, let me know.
Regards,

If your lab is doing Her 2 by Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization techniques
(FISH) could you please tell me which manufacturer's kit that you are using
and how you like it?  My pathologist would like to know whose kit has the
highest reputation, I would also like to know about reputation but also ease
of use and reliability and costs.  Thanks for your help with this request.
