Why choose RNAscope ISH Technology?
Although in situ RNA detection techniques (ISH and FISH) have been around for years, they are largely ineffective. They lack robustness and sensitivity to reliably detect the expression of most human genes. Microarray and PCR are gold standard molecular methods for disease profiling, but clinically relevant information regarding cellular and tissue context, as well as spatial variation of the expression patterns, is lost in the process.
Inspired to solve these challenges, Scientists at Advanced Cell Diagnostics revolutionized the RNA in situ hybridization method and in 2011 introduced RNAscope ISH for detection of target RNA within intact cells. The assay represents a major advance in RNA ISH approaches, with its proprietary probe design that simultaneously amplify target-specific signals and suppress background noise from non-specific hybridization. Known for its sensitivity and specificity, RNAscope ISH is now a proven pioneering technology in the advancing field of spatial genomics, featured in over 5,225 publications across a multitude of research areas. ACD offers both comprehensive Professional Assay Services and single cell spatial gene expression technology for the assay to be conducted in research labs: kits, accessories and catalog probes for over 44,000 targets in over 140 species.
