RNAscope Assays

Four flexible solutions for all your research needs

Independent of your genes of interest, our easy RNA in situ hybridization assay uses common reagents and protocols; providing universal assay conditions. All RNA-ISH kits contain reagents in a convenient ready-to-use (RTU) format, and chromogenic dyes are available to interrogate a single or two genes simultaneously. Most versatile are our RNAscope® Multiplex Fluorescent Reagent Kits, enabling you to interrogate 1, 2 or 3 genes simultaneously.

Automated RNAscope® ISH assays are also available for Leica Systems (LS) and Ventana Systems (VS).

Key Benefit

Robust, sensitive, permanent stain. Most widely used RNAscope assay

Provides bright color stains with high contrast to background

Utilizes 2 different staining enzymes therefore avoiding any cross talk between the two stains

Utilizes upto 4 different spectral channels providing high flexibility

Ideal for

First time user Routine applications

Studies of tissues with endogenous color background such as melanin in skin, liver, or lungs from smokers

Studies interrogating two RNA biomarkers simultaneously

Co-localization studies of upto 4 genes simultaneously Experimental application requiring flexibility
