RNAscope 2.5 HD Reagent Kit—BROWN is the ideal starter kit for first time users. This very robust assay gives reliable results which are ideal for archiving due to the permanent staining. It is the standard in molecular pathology diagnostics, usable for a wide source of samples and the results are visible under any standard bright field microscope. The RNAscope 2.5 HD - Brown Reagent Kits are designed to provide more intense Diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining when low copy target gene expression is anticipated (1–20 copies per cell). The RNAscope 2.5 HD reagent kits are compatible with the same RNAscope probes used previously with RNAscope 2.5 assays.

3. RNAscope Control Slides
4. RNAscope 2.5 HD Reagent Kit—BROWN (Pretreatment Kit, Detection kit, and Wash Buffer included)
5. Brightfield microscope
6. HybEZ™ Hybridization System
