Gain Pathology Insights with Clear Visualization of RNA Expression

RNAscope’s next-generation ISH chemistry reliably detects gene expression in common pathology scenarios, with improved sensitivity and specificity over traditional ISH technologies.

Why Choose RNAscope™ ISH?

  • Superior sensitivity and specificity in FFPE - RNAscope’s next-generation probe design and detection provide exceptional detection of RNA in standard FFPE tissues.
  • Visualize RNA expression with unambiguous signal -  RNAscope’s robust chemistry produces clear, easily interpreted chromogenic signal compared to traditional ISH technologies.
  • Automated protocols to fit your laboratory workflow – With a workflow similar to immunohistochemistry (IHC), and automation on slide stainers, Leica Biosystems and Roche, RNAscope is easily adopted in your laboratory.
  • Surpass IHC challenges with probes for any human gene – With probes spanning the transcriptome, RNAscope is ready to identify RNA expression of pathological importance.

RNAscope in Anatomic Pathology

RNAscope surpasses IHC and traditional ISH in identifying key tumor markers.

RNAscope provides clear, unambiguous signal for:

  • Tumor-associated viruses, including HPV, EBV and CMV
  • IgKappa and IgLambda in B-cells of lymphoma
  • Secreted markers (albumin) or where IHC is inferior (MDM2)
