Product Overview

The RNAscope Multiomic LS Assay enables highly sensitive and specific detection of both RNA and proteins in the same tissue section for a true multiomic spatial assay. Proven class-leading single-molecule RNAscope technology is leveraged to enable simultaneous detection of up to 6 total proteins and RNA targets with single cell resolution.​​​​

This assay is based on the same technology as the RNAscope Multiplex v2 assay and is compatible with your existing probes and workflows. With both protease and a new completely protease-free workflow, the kit provides significantly upgraded capabilities and benefits.​​

The RNAscope Multiomic LS Assay is designed as an automated assay for the BOND RX™ and RXm by Leica Biosystems.

Key Benefits 

Multiomics Icon

Choose Your Protease-Free Multiomic Workflow

  • Protease-free preserves antigen integrity for wide antibody compatibility and maintenance of tissue morphology.
  • Use a sequential co-detection workflow by performing RNAscope detection and following with your usual IHC.

    Or

  • Use the full RNAscope Multiomic workflow for more protein plex and minimal optimization by selecting from a pre-qualified RNAscope antibodies.

Note: Kit also includes protease to support your ongoing projects.

Flexible Icon

Fast and Flexible Assay Design​

  • Up to 6 total plex.
  • RNAscope probes let you detect any RNA transcripts. Any gene. Any species.
  • Accelerate multiomic assay design at higher plex by selecting from RNAscope antibodies. Pre-qualified RNAscope primary and secondary antibodies minimize optimization time.

Gold-Standard RNAscope Detection

  • Proven performance for FFPE samples and high to low expressing target genes.
  • Backed by over 14K publications in peer-reviewed journals​.
  • Over 80K probes visualized.
  • Compatible with downstream H&E staining.

Tumor-Associated Macrophages Visualized Using the Multiomic LS Assay

  • Assess cytokine profiles and identify their cellular source.
  • Visualize gene signatures with cell-specific markers to assess activation states of immune cells.

Protease-Free Workflow Flexibility  

RNA Only  

LS Workflow - RNA Only
  • Unparalleled sensitivity and specificity.
  • Detect up to 6 RNA targets at the same time.
  • Kit includes both protease-free and protease for maximum compatibility.

Sequential Co-Detection  

LS Workflow - Sequential Co Detection
  • If you already have an in-place IHC solution, perform RNA and protein detection sequentially.
  • Perform RNAscope detection with protease-free reagents to preserve antigen integrity, then follow with standard IHC or IF detection using your own antibodies.

Full Multiomic Workflow

LS Workflow - Full Multiomic Workflow
  • For increased protein plex, select from RNAscope primary and antibodies for a total of 6 RNA and protein targets.
  • Pre-qualified RNAscope antibodies reduce optimization time and effort.
