- 15+ automated staining systems from Leica Biosystems and Ventana Medical Systems
RNAscope technology combines RNA quantitative analysis for any gene with the ultimate sensitivity of single target detection, tissue context analysis for any type of tissue and single cell analysis. This technology has been well-established and complements other technologies like NGS, qPCR or IHC or can substitute IHC analysis when an antibody is not available.
Through our rapid and high quality Pharma Assay Services, we provide a quick and easy way to access this unique technology.
“We used ACD’s RNAscope ® in situ hybridization assay service for co-localization analysis and gene expression profiling of several RNA biomarkers. For our project, we chose to use both the RNAscope chromogenic duplex and RNAscope fluorescent duplex assays. We are very pleased with the high resolution and quality of the raw data along with ACD’s expertise and timely delivery of the report and materials. The technology is impressive and is coupled with a friendly service. A positive experience overall, we would highly recommend them for ISH assay development and implementation.“
