FISH 'n' Tips: Denaturation

Section 4 Denaturation v2

View our collection of FISH 'n' Tips for the denaturation stage of the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) protocol. Tips include why you should use calibrated temperature-measuring devices and why you should test ramp up and ramp down temperature times periodically.
