Bio-Techne RNAscope Plus smRNA-RNA Detection Assay

Bio-Techne has launched the RNAscope Plus smRNA-RNA detection assay. It enables the simultaneous fluorescent detection of a small regulatory RNA and three target RNAs or RNA biomarkers in the same tissue section at single-cell and subcellular resolution. The assay is available for use on the Leica Bond Rx platform and as a manual assay. It offers researchers a new tool to quantify changes in gene expression and cellular function in response to the introduction of regulatory RNAs.
