Join Empire Genomics’ Field Application Specialist Ashlee Dunne in our webinar on helping you understand the important considerations when optimizing your labs FISH protocols on blood and tissue samples.

This webinar will walk you through protocol optimization of treatment and FISH for FFPE tissue samples, as well as provide troubleshooting tips and tricks for FFPE tissue processing. Upon completing the webinar, a technologist should have an in-depth knowledge of FFPE tissue treatment prior to FISH as well as an in-depth understanding of FISH for […]

This episode of ‘Fishing with Ashlee’ will cover interphase FISH with blood and bone marrow samples. The benefits of interphase FISH with blood and bone marrow as well as a protocol for harvesting blood and bone marrow samples will be covered in depth. Images will be presented throughout the webinar to help a technician troubleshoot […]

This episode of ‘Fishing with Ashlee’ will provide technologists with a plethora of images that depict common processing errors with FFPE tissue samples, blood and bone marrow samples, and other sample types used in FISH. The goal of this webinar is to expose technologists to images that correlate to specific problems in sample processing and […]

Join our field application specialist Ashlee Dunne in our upcoming webinar on NTRK and its recent interest within the clinical and research community. During this webinar, attendees will learn more about the NTRK genes, their common fusion partners, and what one can expect to see in a normal or abnormal sample.

This short presentation will help you understand how to run two different FISH tests on the same slide for the same patient. This is a very cost-effective and efficient method for running FISH panels.

In this webinar, attendees will learn the answers to some of our most commonly asked questions about probe and slide storage, slide making and processing, and analyzing FISH testing. A technologist who engages in the webinar should expect to leave with an understanding of proper storage of Empire Genomics probes, proper slide making and processing […]

“Wash Away Your Probe-lems” addresses all things FISH washing. Upon completing the webinar, technologists should have an understanding of the importance of FISH washing, how to make and store proper wash solutions, and techniques involved in FISH washing. Technologists should also come from this webinar with washing tips that can be incorporated into their lab […]

This webinar will cover all the links in the process of successful FISH testing. A technologist should understand sample shipping and quality, mixture of reagents for FISH protocols, FISH protocol adjustments based on lab, equipment necessary for successful FISH testing, calibration and maintenance of the equipment, scope filters for probe dyes, and storage of FISHed […]
