We are pleased to announce that Cytocell's products are now available from MSC.

Cytocell is Europe's leading DNA FISH-probe manufacturer with the renowned Chromoprobe Multiprobe-system and the comprehensive Aquarius liquid probe range.  They are a leading provider of innovative DNA Screening solutions for fast and accurate detection of human genetic diseases in cytogenetics and cancer.

Cytocell's Satellite probes can be used in the identification and enumeration of human chromosomes in interphase and metaphase cells, in the identification of marker chromosomes and in the detection of aneuploid.  They are used routinely for the detection of hyperdiploid and pseudohaploidy in patients with Acute Lympoblastic Leukaemia when conventional cytogenetics has shown normal or failed results.
