Genetic Pathology Solutions (GPS)
Designed By Pathologists For Pathologists
Genetic Pathology Solutions (GPS) is a medically driven testing option which allows the hematopathologist the ability to add or delete
testing based upon medical necessity. GPS is a comprehensive diagnostic tool incorporating different methodologies to deliver one diagnosis....
Flow Cytometry
Flow Cytometry is an
a rapid way to measure the characteristics of individual cells. Hematopoietics cells(blood, bone
marrow, core biopsies and quantified according to their surface antigens....
Cytogenetics
A wide variety of abnormalities can be identified, providing both
diagnostic and prognostic information. Acute leukemias, lymphomas
and chronic myeloid and lymphoid disorders are examined
cytogenetically in order to establish the exact nature of the acquired genetic
change.
FISH
Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) can help identify subtle
structural rearrangements, variant chromosomes, and
(sub-microscopic changes) not readily discernable by classic
cytogenetics. FISH relies on three technologies: cytogenetics,
DNA hybridization and fluorescence microscopy to provide another level of laboratory testing.
FISH utilizes DNA probes comprised
of specific nucleic acid sequences tagged with a fluorescent marker.
FISH testing can be ordered by FISH probe, gene or in disease-specific FISH panel.

Immunohistochemistry
Immunohistochemistry or IHC refers to the process of localizing proteins in cells of a tissue section exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues.
Immunohistochemical staining is widely used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumors. Specific molecular markers are characteristic of particular cellular events such as
proliferation or cell death (apoptosis).
IHC is also widely used in basic research to understand the distribution and localization of biomarkers and differentially expressed proteins in different parts of a biological tissue....
