AB  - As a clinical diagnostic technique, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is 
      simple, reliable, cost-effective and widely applicable. Due to technology 
      advances, automation systems are adapted in FISH in different ways, involving all 
      and/or some of the following procedural steps: sample processing, probe 
      distribution, hybridization, post-wash, result analysis and/or final report 
      preparation. To better understand the status and prospective of FISH automation, 
      a survey has been recently performed among Cytogenetic Laboratory Directors 
      and/or their designated Laboratory Managers, Supervisors or certified Cytogenetic 
      Technologists. We present here the preliminary analysis of this survey, to 
      advocate more discussion about standardization of the FISH automation as well as 
      implementation of FISH automation as part of educational programs for Cytogenetic 
      Technologists.
