Bio-Techne RNA-Protein Co-Detection Assays

Sep 22, 2020

Bio-Techne has expanded its Advanced Cell Diagnostics-branded RNAscope technology with the release of RNA-Protein Co-Detection Assays. RNAscope technology is an advanced in situ hybridization assay that enables visualization of single-molecule gene expression with single-cell resolution directly in intact cells and tissues. The codetection assays allow researchers to simultaneously examine gene expression specific to cell types and identify cellular sources of secreted proteins. The new workflow enables a wider range of IHC-validated antibodies to be combined with RNA ISH.
