Define your FISH assay on Dako Omnis

Dako Omnis is intended to perform automated ISH staining on FFPE tissue sections. Dako Omnis supports FISH assays with IQFISH Fast Hybridization Buffer as well as creation of user-defined FISH protocols thereby facilitating fast, automated FISH staining on Dako Omnis.

You should always validate your customized protocol before approval for diagnostic use.

To run FISH on Dako Omnis use IQFISH Fast Hybridization Buffer 900 (G9414A) in Vial with Mixing Ball 2 mL for Dako Omnis (GC206). To ensure optimal mixing, use Dako Omnis Mixing Device (GC116) before loading the vial onto Dako Omnis. Refer to the separate Dako Omnis Mixing Device User Guide for information about the correct usage of the mixing device.
