HANABI Metaphase Spreader
HANABI Metaphase
Spreader
Distributed by Transgenomic for ADSTEC
The HANABI Metaphase Spreader is designed to provide
optimized environmental conditions for the preparation of metaphase
chromosome spreads. Temperature, humidity and airflow are set and
rapidly stabilized so that when chromosomes are dropped and spread
on microscope slides they are dried in a consistent and reproducible
manner. Excessive spreading and chromosome overlaps are minimized
giving rise to better yields of analyzable metaphases. The chromosome spreading process
for conventional G-banding or FISH analyses with samples derived from
blood cells or bone marrow samples is now more streamlined — they
can easily carried out regardless of skill level.
Certain protocols require that cells and chromosomes are spread on the
entire slide. This can be achieved using a tilted slide block
option that is also available.
