Partnership between the local pathologist and national labs are here to stay
as long as the pathologist is on the case and informed.
Molecular Diagnostics Consultants is a designated FISH lab with full
telepathology automation and CLIA/CAP FISH Assay certification.
We perform solid tumor FISH assays to include HER2, TOP2A, EGFR, C-MYC
and Melanoma.
Our HER2 assay is FDA approved.
HER2 FISH, TOP2A FISH EGFR FISH,C-MYC FISH and Melanoma are available on
a PC/TC basis.
We also perform Hematology Panels to include MDS, ALL, CLL, AML, CML,
Multiple Myeloma and Lymphomas.
FISH PC/TC on Hematology Panels is also available.
We work with several pathology groups with great success. The
pathologist is on the case starting with the H&E all the way to the FISH
electronic sign-out.
Our Laboratory Information System is easy to use and after short experience a
pathologist with an internet access will be able to sign-out a case in five
minutes.
Case images and FISH technologist signed scoring sheets are available
for the pathologist to view.
The final report is also available to view before signing out.
The signed case will be faxed electronically to any treating physician
designated by the pathology group.
Final report in a PDF format can be printed or saved on the pathology
