The RNAscope® control slides are essential to verify assay conditions.  ACD strongly recommends that all new users begin their RNAscope® Assay experience by selecting human or mouse control slides and run the assay with positive and negative control probes. This first run would serve as an assay control check before performing runs using your target probes and samples.
