RNAscope Insights

What is RNAscope?

RNAscope is a proprietary in situ hybridization (ISH) assay developed by Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD), now part of Bio-Techne. It allows for the detection and quantification of RNA molecules within intact cells and tissues with single-molecule sensitivity and spatial resolution. It is commonly used in research to study gene expression patterns, identify cell types, and visualize RNA localization within biological samples.

What other technologies are related to RNAscope?

RNAscope Competitor Technologies

IHC

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used to visualize proteins in tissue sections. While RNAscope detects RNA, IHC detects proteins, representing a different but overlapping approach for studying gene expression and protein localization.

immunofluorescence

Immunofluorescence is another technique for visualizing proteins in tissue. Like IHC, it competes with RNAscope in the realm of cellular analysis, albeit by targeting proteins instead of RNA.
