[Histonet] submitting a cytology specimen for FISH

[Rene J Buesa]

This is the second time that I read that CARBOWAX is used for this procedure. A word of alert: CARBOWAX is an extremely dangerous and carcinogen product. Handle it accordingly!

Would it be a urine for Uryovision? If so, carbowax is generally
supplied by the reference lab that does the testing - or PreservCyt will
work if you don't have the kits. It must be added in a certain amount of
time. 

This web site tells about it...

And if you are sending to a reference lab, you can get kits and specs
from them. 

Hope this helps, j
