RNA In Situ Hybridization in FFPE and Fresh Frozen Tissues—Overview

QuantiGene ViewRNA ISH Tissue Assay is a unique in situ hybridization assay that has the robustness and sensitivity to detect single RNA molecules in individual cells without the challenges of antibody-based protein assays or the traditional RNA expression quantitation assays. The assays allow for RNA localization within the cellular context - tumor micro-environment and intra-tumor heterogeneity – that can provide vital information to biomarker's clinical relevance. Two RNA targets can be visualized in the same tissue section.The assay uses proprietary chemistry for the target specific probe sets and bDNA signal amplification (bDNA) for detection of specific signal, and has four main steps: sample preparation, target hybridization, signal amplification, and detection. Bach automation of the steps can be achieved using the Little Dipper^® Processor for Affymetrix which will reduce hands-on time and assay variability.

Assay Performance Highlights
