Featured Service

In Situ Hybridization - RNAscope

Top: RNAscope single color ISH for porcine Il-β. Bottom: RNAscope two color for ISH for γδT cells and TGF-β

This is a new method for in situ hybridization that yields a strong, specific, readable signal (see figures below) using formalin fixed / paraffin embedded or frozen  tissues. Species specific probes can be designed for multiple species including bovine, porcine, canine, equine and murine. Please contact us to find out if this technology may be helpful in your research project.
