Bio-Techne TSA Vivid Fluorophores 520, 570, 650

Oct 12, 2022

Bio-Techne has introduced three novel TSA Vivid Fluorophores for fluorescent detection of RNAs and proteins in cells and tissues. The fluorophores are optimized for use with Bio-Techne's RNAscope ISH technology and enable users to illuminate RNA biomarkers and accelerate cellular phenotyping and functional analysis at single-cell and subcellular resolution, the company said. When used in combination with RNAscope, the new reagents allow for the detection of gene expression with very low background, including low-expressing RNAs. The fluorophores can be purchased individually, as a set, or in combination with the RNAscope Multiplex v2 Assay.
