FAST RESULTS
Integrated into your IHC workflow on Dako OmnisFast, high-quality FISH
Dako Omnis, a fully automated, walk-away solution for advanced staining, provides a fully automated, FISH solution with high efficiency and flexibility. Automated slide throughput depends on length of protocol, slide capacity and reagent positions. With the short FISH protocol and high slide and reagent capacity, Dako Omnis processes FISH slides in an IHC-like turnaround time – fast and with high quality.
IQFISH panel for lung cancer automated on Dako OmnisThe IQFISH panel for lung cancer enables the detection of rearrangements involving the ALK, ROS1 and RET genes, and the detection of MET gene amplifications by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The probes are designed using the groundbreaking, oliogonucleotide-based SureFISH technology and utilize the formamide-free IQFISH fast hybridization buffer. The probes are for use on lung paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections.

“ It is compelling to move to the Dako Omnis platform from our current because it is automated, and we today do it manually. The result is as good as the one we currently have [from another vendor], but requires less hands-on time.” Aleksandra Kolaric, University Örebro, Sweden
High efficiency
Run FISH simultaneously with IHC Unlike other systems, Dako Omnis is designed for simultaneous FISH and IHC runs. FISH slides can be run with minimal impact to IHC throughput on Dako Omnis, as shown in the chart to the right. The short FISH protocol enables a capacity of up to 45 FISH slides per day with an overnight run.
The protocols developed for use with the ALK, ROS1, RET, and MET probes on Dako Omnis share ISH Accessories reagents and allow the probes to be run together in the same rack (up to five slides are processed per rack). The ability to batch in groups of five reduces the reagents and time needed to process the different assays. Furthermore, these probes can be run alongside HER2 IQFISH pharmDx (Dako Omnis), maximizing FISH utilization on the instrument.

The short FISH protocol gives you a FISH solution with high efficiency and flexibility.
IHC-like turnaround time The high-throughput Dako Omnis combined with the IQFISH fast hybridization buffer gives labs an IHC-like turnaround time for FISH. IQFISH fast hybridization buffer reduces hybridization to 75 minutes, making the overall turnaround time for FISH just 4 hours.

High signal-to-noise ratio by repeat and blocker-free designIQFISH are designed in silico and chemically synthesized using Agilent’s high-fidelity, oliogonucleotide library synthesis (OLS) technology.
FISH probes from other vendors are purified from bacterial library clones (BAC) harboring human genomic DNA fragments. They therefore include repetitive sequences that can bind nonspecifically throughout the nuclei, producing a hazy background. Consequently, BAC-based probes usually come premixed with Cot-1 DNA, which blocks the background signals from repeated sequences, and also suppresses the overall hybridization signal.
Agilent IQFISH probes address this by targeting only the unique sequences. During probe design, all repetitive elements are removed. This increases signal specificity and decreases hybridization background. It also eliminates the need for blocking agent and associated signal suppression. The combined effect is a high signal-to-noise ratio and easy visualization.
Unique micro-gap designAgilent’s oliogonucleotide-based SureFISH technology permits probe placement with base-pair-level precision. This allows a unique micro-gap design for ALK and RET IQFISH probes. Whereas the spacing between child probes with BAC-based probes is typically 100-300 kb, the spacing between Agilent’s child probes is only about 0.4 kb.
This design methodology is beneficial because the ALK-EML4 fusion is the result of an inversion between genes that are separated by approximately 12 Mb. Similarly, RET fusions with KIF5B are the result of an 11 Mb inversion. Detecting such intra-chromosomal inversions can be challenging due to the limited signal separation compared to a different chromosome.
Agilent’s micro-gap design provides tighter co-localization of orange-red and green signals in nuclei without the inversion, so cases with the inversion are easier and faster to analyze.
Easy, accurate and fast scoring Spend less time at the microscope thanks to high signal-to-noise ratio and micro-gap probe design

The same high-quality IQFISH on Dako Omnis as manualPerforming FISH with the ALK, ROS1, RET, and MET IQFISH (Dako Omnis) probes together with all of the ISH accessory reagents and devices results in equivalent performance compared to the manual procedure. Nine NSCLC samples were processed both manually and on Dako Omnis. Probe signal intensity was evaluated on a 0-3 scale with: 0= no signal, 1= weak signal 2= moderate signal, 3= strong signal. For all samples evaluated, the staining intensity was moderate to strong with Dako Omnis processed samples giving slightly higher scores.
Furthermore, processing of the ALK, ROS1, RET, and MET IQFISH (Dako Omnis) probes is both repeatable and reproducible across multiple instruments.
The optimized probes and protocols for use on Dako Omnis provide high-intensity staining, work well across multiple tissue types, and provide reproducible results. Together these attributes can lead to reduced analysis time and fewer assay repeats.
Outstanding performance

Two IQFISH protocols are available for processing on Dako Omnis: The IQFISH and IQFISH (Extra Wash). The ALK IQFISH protocol provides a slightly faster run-time and allows for the processing of HER2 IQFISH pharmDx (Dako Omnis) slides in the same Dako Omnis Slide Rack. Using the IQFISH (Extra Wash) protocol may result in lower background on challenging samples. (Note that the two protocols cannot be run in the same Slide Rack.)
Filter recommendationsFilters are individually designed for specific fluorochromes and for each microscope. For the interpretation of IQFISH staining assays, the following combination of filters should be used:
• Specific DAPI filter• High-quality Cy3/FITC double filter (alternatively specific
Cy3 and FITC single filters)

For identifying the relevant tissue/regions for scoring, an oil-immersion 20x objective with a minimum numerical aperture (N.A.) of 0.75 is recommended.
For scoring signal patterns, an oil-immersion 60x or 100x objective with a numerical aperture (N.A.) of 1.4 is recommended.
