Product Details
The UroVysion® Bladder Cancer Kit (UroVysion Kit) is FDA approved and designed to detect aneuploidy for chromosomes 3, 7, 17, and loss of the 9p21 locus via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in urine specimens from persons with hematuria suspected of having bladder cancer. Results from the UroVysion Kit are intended for use, in conjunction with and not in lieu of current standard diagnostic procedures, as an aid for initial diagnosis of bladder carcinoma in patients with hematuria and subsequent monitoring for tumor recurrence in patients previously diagnosed with bladder cancer.
The UroVysion Bladder Cancer Kit probes are directly labeled with one of the Vysis fluorophores; SpectrumRed, SpectrumGreen, SpectrumAqua or SpectrumGold. The UroVysion Bladder Cancer Kit consists of three alpha-satellite repeat sequence probes; CEP 3 SpectrumRed, CEP 7 SpectrumGreen, and CEP 17 SpectrumAqua that hybridize to the centromere regions of chromosomes 3, 7, and 17, respectively. In addition, a unique sequence probe, LSI p16 (9p21) SpectrumGold, is included that hybridizes to the p16 gene at 9p21. This probe set is premixed in Hybridization Buffer.
