HCR™ Pro RNA-ISH

Extreme-sensitivity RNA imaging with chromogenic or fluorescent staining

Enzymatic amplification for the most demanding targets/samples when signal-to-background is at an absolute premium (e.g., rapid scanning of a low-expression target in a highly-autofluorescent sample over a large field-of-view at low magnification)​.

What comes in an HCR™ Pro RNA-ISH kit?

HCR™ Pro RNA-CISH

Extreme-sensitivity chromogenic RNA imaging

The convenience of brightfield microscopy and the option of archival staining

Entirely protease-free workflow in tissue sections 
HCR™ Pro RNA-ISH leverages the unique sample penetration and triggered amplification properties of the HCR™ imaging platform to pioneer entirely protease-free workflows for chromogenic and fluorescent RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-CISH/RNA-FISH) in FFPE and fresh/fixed frozen tissue sections.

Native compatibility with IHC/IF
Traditional RNA imaging technologies rely heavily on protease pre-treatment to enable large imaging reagents to penetrate tissue sections, but this process often damages sample morphology and compromises protein target integrity, making it challenging to image RNA and protein targets in a single well-preserved sample. In contrast, the HCR™ Pro RNA-ISH protease-free workflow naturally preserves sample morphology and maintains protein target integrity, enabling seamless compatibility with existing immunohistochemistry (IHC)/immunofluorescence (IF) assays.
