ViewRNA™ Colorimetric Tissue 1-Plex Kits (Invitrogen™)

ViewRNA Colorimetric Tissue assays are RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) assays for the reliable detection of mRNA targets within tissue sections at single-copy sensitivity. The ViewRNA assays use proprietary chemistry for the target-specific probe sets along with branched DNA (bDNA) technology to amplify target-specific signal and achieve superior signal-to-noise ratios compared to traditional colorimetric ISH signal amplification methods, which often amplify both the signal and background.

Key Features

When combined with a ViewRNA Tissue probe set (purchased separately), the ViewRNA 1-Plex Kits enable the colorimetric detection of a single RNA target in tissue sections using the Fast Red, Fast Blue, or DAB substrate. ViewRNA 2-Plex Kits for the colorimetric detection of two RNA targets are also available in any combination of the three detection modes.

ViewRNA Tissue assays are RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) assays for the reliable detection of one or two mRNA targets within tissue sections. Visualize any gene in any tissue with single-copy sensitivity and no radioactivity. And in case your needs are not met by one of our 6500 catalog probe sets, we have decades of bioinformatics expertise and will design custom probe sets to any mRNA target of interest, free of charge.

With ViewRNA Tissue assays, you can achieve:
• Robust, single mRNA molecule detection in tissue sections
• Accuracy and specificity inherent to branched DNA amplification technologies
• Simultaneous detection of two RNA targets

The ViewRNA Tissue Assay is compatible with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and cryopreserved tissue. Whereas traditional ISH technologies often amplify both signal and background, ViewRNA assays use branched DNA (bDNA) technology to amplify target-specific signal and achieve superior signal-to-noise ratios.

To meet various experimental needs, the ViewRNA Tissue assay is provided in a variety of kits and modules. The ViewRNA Tissue Core Kit and ViewRNA Modules can be purchased separately in different combinations to mix and match and create a colorimetric ViewRNA assay for detection of up to two RNA targets. For added convenience, ViewRNA 1-Plex and 2-Plex Kits containing the ViewRNA Tissue Core Kit and ViewRNA Modules can also be purchased, then supplemented with the ViewRNA Tissue Core Kit and ViewRNA Modules as needed for additional assays or substrates. The ViewRNA 1-Plex and 2-Plex Kits include sufficient reagents to stain 24 or 96 tissue sections. 

ViewRNA Fast Red 1-Plex Kit
The ViewRNA Fast Red 1-Plex Kit includes the ViewRNA Tissue Core Kit and ViewRNA Fast Red Module to detect a single mRNA target with red colored precipitate for ViewRNA colorimetric ISH tissue staining. The alkaline phosphatase (AP) substrate Fast Red is for use ViewRNA Type 1 or Type 6 Probe Sets (ViewRNA probe sets are sold separately).

ViewRNA Fast Blue 1-Plex Kit
The ViewRNA Fast Blue 1-Plex Kit includes the ViewRNA Tissue Core Kit and ViewRNA Fast Blue Module to detect a single mRNA target with blue colored precipitate for ViewRNA colorimetric ISH tissue staining. The alkaline phosphatase (AP) substrate Fast Blue is for use with ViewRNA Type 6 or Type 1 Probe Sets (ViewRNA probe sets are sold separately).

ViewRNA DAB 1-Plex Kit
The ViewRNA DAB 1-Plex Kit includes the ViewRNA Tissue Core Kit and ViewRNA DAB Module to detect a single mRNA target with brown colored staining for ViewRNA colorimetric ISH tissue staining. The horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate DAB is for use with ViewRNA Type 4 Probe Sets (ViewRNA probe sets are sold separately).
