What is the most effective detection system for 16S FISH?

04 April 2018 1 6K Report

We are setting up 16S FISH for animal tissues with low bacterial abundances. What is the most effective & specific system for probe detection & signal amplification?

Ivan Kanchev

Have you looked at the ACD Company solutions. They do have quite "sick" in a good way things in their portfolio.

Best,

Ivan
