November 2014—Dako, an Agilent Technologies company, announced the EU launch of HER2 IQFISH pharmDx automated on Dako Omnis. The assay will enable pathology laboratories to integrate the Dako HER2 IQFISH and IQFISH hybridization buffer into their immunohistochemistry workflow.
Dako Omnis automates both IHC and ISH processes and enables entire patient cases to be processed simultaneously. Pathology laboratories will have the option to simultaneously stain IHC and ISH slides, load by patient case, and process multiple FISH slides. The four-hour turnaround time for the IQFISH assay allows same-day return on diagnoses. The IQ Buffer also ensures brighter fluorescent signals with decreased background staining compared with traditional FISH assays.
