Unprecedented Sensitivity and Specificity​

  • RNAscope assays allow single RNA molecule detection with our ACD patented Z probe pair design​
  • Rigorous double Z probes design eliminates cross-hybridization to unintended targets and routinely distinguishes RNA sequences with up to 85% homology

RNAscope duplex chromogenic assay in colon cancer tissue

RNAscope Duplex Chromogenic Assays

Our RNAscope Duplex assays are designed for simultaneous in situ detection of two RNA species using probe channels C1 and C2. Common applications include co-localization studies to map co-expression of two targets within the same cellular context (e.g. secreted ligand and its receptor) or to profile gene expression in a specific cell type expressing a known marker (e.g. a specific stem cell marker).
