FISH

Fluorescence in situ Hybridization A cytogentic technique Looks for chromosomal abnormalities which are deletions & duplications that can cause disease Sample examples: amniotic fluid; bone marrow; peripheral blood; solid tissue 88365: per specimen initial single probe stain proc. +88364: each addtn'l single probe 88366: multiplex probe

cytogenetic

genetic study of the structure and function of the cell, especially the chromosomes

flow cytometry

suspend cells in a stream of fluid & pass them by an electronic detection apparatus. Cell contents are fluorescently labeled & then excited by a laser to emit light at vary wavelengths Especially used to detect blood cancers Considered AP studies 85060; 88168; 88184-88189; 88319
