New In situ Hybridization (ISH) Service

In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique that uses colorimetric or fluorescent probes to target and visualize specific DNA or RNA sequences within tissues. We offer automated ISH services using RNAscope® probes designed and produced by Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD) for diagnostic applications using our state-of-the-art Ventana Discovery Ultra stainer.

This allows consistent and rapid diagnostic or research output of reliable data. All ISH testing is performed using corresponding internal positive and negative controls to provide confidence in our findings. Interpretation of the results is provided by our board-certified anatomic pathologists with extensive RNAscope® ISH experience.
