The new assay will also allow pathology labs to easily incorporate Dako's HER2 IQFISH and IQFISH hybridisation buffer into their IHC workflow to concurrently stain IHC and ISH slides, load by patient case, and process multiple FISH slides. Furthermore, the IQ Buffer provides brighter fluorescent signals with reduced background staining versus traditional FISH assays.
As more kits are introduced it may become more time effective to prepare the Gram stain and PNA FISH slides at the same time and then select the correct PNA FISH assay to perform based on the Gram stain result.
