The RNAscope® VS Universal HRP/ AP assays are designed as automated assays on the Discovery Ultra Automated IHC/ISH slide staining systems from Roche. The RNAscope® VS Universal HRP/ AP assays are RNA in situ hybridization assays based on ACD’s patented signal amplification and background suppression technology. The assay uses a proprietary method of in situ hybridization (ISH) to visualize single RNA molecules per cell in a multitude of sample types mounted on slides. RNAscope® Assays do not require the RNA-free environment used for traditional ISH.
The RNAscope® VS Universal HRP Reagent Kit (Brown) is a very robust assay gives reliable results which are ideal for archiving due to the permanent staining. It is the standard in molecular pathology diagnostics, usable for a wide source of samples and the results are visible under any standard bright field microscope. The RNAscope® VS Universal HRP Reagent Kit (Brown) is designed to provide more intense Diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining—ideal when low copy target gene expression is anticipated (1–20 copies per cell). The stained slides are visualized with brightfield microscopes.
The RNAscope® VS Universal AP Reagent Kit (Red) with it Fast Red dye offers a higher contrast and is the first choice in situ hybridization applications where chromogenic staining with DAB is less desirable, such as staining of highly pigmented lung, liver, retina and melanoma tissue specimens. Also for genes where a lower expression is assumed, ACD recommends this assay as the red dots clearly distinguish against the hematoxylin staining and are visible under are standard brightfield microscope.
