IVDR Certification
This probe is IVDR-certified in compliance with the Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR). For organizational reasons, we currently provide only the IVDD product.
The XL MECOM 3q26 break-apart probe is a qualitative, non-automated test for the detection of MECOM-rearrangements at 3q26.2 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The product is intended as a diagnostic aid and assists in disease monitoring. The test population consists of patients with confirmed or suspected acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS). Hybridization is to be performed on methanol/acetic-acid fixed cells derived from bone marrow or peripheral blood.
The XL MECOM 3q26 break-apart probe consists of an orange-labeled probe hybridizing proximal to the MECOM gene region at 3q26.2 and a green-labeled probe hybridizing distal to the MECOM gene region also spanning a distal part of the gene region at 3q26.2.
XL MECOM 3q26 hybridized to lymphocytes. One normal metaphase and one normal interphase are shown.
Normal Cell:
Two green-orange colocalization/fusion signals (2GO).
Aberrant Cell (typical results):
One green-orange colocalization/fusion signal (1GO), one separate green (1G) and orange (1O) signal each resulting from a chromosome break in the respective locus.
Aberrant Cell (typical results):
Two green-orange colocalization/fusion signals (2GO) and one separate usually small green (1G) signal indicating a variant chromosome break at a more distal region of the locus covered by the green probe.
Second MetaSystems User Day in Altlussheim, Germany
Neon, the outstanding MetaSystems case and image management system, offers many tools and helpful gadgets to streamline routine workflows, for example in cytogenetics labs. The second MetaSystems User Day, addressed to MetaSystems clients from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, provided in different workshops knowledge helping to unleash the full power of the system.
OOO MetaSystems Russia on the International Scientific Congress 'Genetics of XXI Century'
The Congress 'Genetics of XXI Century' in Moscow, Russia (May 2019) has been one of the most important events for the professional international community of geneticists. Our partner company in Russia OOO MetaSystems considered it a good occasion to present the new camera CoolCube 4 connected to a state-of-the-art Neon system to the public.
