Karyotyping $360
Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) $500

*FISH pricing is based on single probe hybridization. Additional fees may apply for labeling, is dependent on probe type, label requested and the number of hybridizations required. $50 for each additional probe, up to three probes hybridization maximum. Researcher may submit own probe.

+ $50; 2 probe hybridization

+ $100; 3 probe hybridization
