Start • Life Sciences And Research Solutions • Innovation Partnerships • Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD), a Bio-Techne brand Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD), a Bio-Techne brand Image ACD - a Bio-Techne brand ACD - a Bio-Techne brand, is a pioneer and leader in the advancement of spatial genomics by unlocking the power of RNA and developing cell- and tissue-based research. Based on proprietary technology, ACD’s RNAscope Technology, the first multiplex fluorescent and chromogenic in situ hybridization platform enables detection and quantification of RNA in situ at single molecule sensitivity. Features and Benefits of Our Technology Image Features Strong detection of low expressors- Visualization of even very low expressing genes in any of the three probe channels. Compatible with multiple sample types- Detection of signals at low exposure and supports of FFPE samples and fresh frozen samples. Supports dual ISH and IHC protocols- High and stable signals enable sequential detection of proteins by IHC on the same samples. Sharper, crisper signal- Strong balanced signals across all three channels make it easy to generate publication-quality data. Image Legend: Mouse Brain Cortex GFAP (Green) (Antibody); Rbfox3 (red) ; Aif1 Benefits Easy to use - no need to match expression level of targets with channel sensitivity Novel multiplex nucleic acid ISH technology with a patented probe design Delivers clear and actionable results with high sensitivity and specificity Research Focus Automated Protocol - Best-in-class RNA ISH for your automated system of choice For labs that require high throughput and automated RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) analysis, ACD has partnered with Leica Biosystems to deliver RNAscope™ ISH automated assays. Common applications include studies to map co-expression of targets within the same cellular context (e.g. secreted ligand and its receptor) or to profile gene expression in a specific cell type expressing a known marker (e.g. a specific stem cell marker).
