Approximately 50% of miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Traditional cytogenetic techniques such as karyotyping and FISH are limited by cell culture failure and usually lack the appropriate sensitivity.

CytoScan™ Optima Suite has been designed with input from the cytogenetics community worldwide and empirically optimized from CytoScan HD Suite. CytoScan Optima Array offers whole-genome coverage for accurate detection of chromosomal abnormalities with increased probe coverage targeting 396 relevant regions for prenatal and miscarriage applications.

CytoScan Optima Suite includes arrays, reagents, and easy-to-use data analysis software for a cost-effective analysis of your prenatal and product of conception (POC) samples.
