- Apr30Becoming an Expert: Tips and Tricks for Running BaseScopeTM AssayBecoming an Expert: Tips and Tricks for Running BaseScopeTM AssayTapan Shah, Ph.D.Technical Support Scientist
Outline:The RNAscope® and BaseScope™ Assays are based on the proprietary RNAscope® Technology, enabling RNA target expression analysis within intact cells and tissues with high sensitivity and specificity.
BaseScopeTM assay is a recent addition to the RNAscope® Technology product portfolio, launched in early 2016. Using the same innovative technology and proprietary probe design, the BaseScope™ Assay is further refined to detect RNA targets with as few as 1-4 ZZ probe pairs. At this webinar, we will discuss the benefits of both the RNAscope® and BaseScope™ assays and share tips and tricks on how to perform these assays successfully to obtain publication-quality RNA in situ results. We will also discuss some specific applications that BaseScopeTM assay can be applied.
Who should attend:This webinar will benefit both new and experienced RNAscope® and BaseScopeTM technology users.

How to use EZ-Batch Tray
De-paraffinization
De-paraffinization is performed to ensure complete removal of the paraffin from FFPE samples to allow for the probes to penetrate the target RNA after adequate pretreatment.
Endogenous Peroxidase Blocking
RNAscope H2O2 step is performed during the RNAscope assay to block endogenous peroxidase enzyme activity to prevent hazy background after detection.Note: Pretreatment 1 refers to RNAscope H2O2 reagent and is the first pretreatment perfomed on your samples for Chromogenic assays.
Target Retrieval (Boiling)
Target Retrieval step is a heat induced epitope retrieval method that is necessary to reverse the cross-linking caused by the formalin fixation step. Note: Pretreatment 2 refers to Target Retrieval reagent.For an alternative steamer protocol refer to the appendix of User Manual Part 2 Brown and Red.
Protease Plus (Protease Digestion)
Protease Plus is a broad spectrum protease that is intended to permeabilize the samples adequately to allow the probes to reach the target mRNA.Note : Pretreament 3 refers to Protease Plus reagent.
Target Probe Hybridization
ACD provides properietary double "ZZ" oligo probes designed to hybridize to your specific RNA target
Amplification (Amp1-Amp6) with Wash Step
RNAscope detection reagents amplify hybridization signals via sequential hybridization of amplifiers.
DAB Colormetric Reaction
Chromogenic detection is based on the enzyme substrate reaction which leads to the formation of an insoluble precipitate visualized in the form of punctate dots for the RNAscope assay.
Gill's Hematoxylin Counter Stain
Hematoxylin staining is a counterstain used to provide a contrast to better visualize the signal and to observe the morphology of the sample and identify the localization of the signal.
Tissue Dehydration
The tissue dehydration step after the counterstaining step results in removal of excess moisture which provides better tissue morphology and preservation of the signal.
Mounting
The final step in RNAscope after staining requires the use of mounting media to adhere a coverslip to tissue section or cell smear. This helps protect the sample and the staining from physical damage and helps improve the clarity and contrast of an image during microscopy.
