Bio-Techne's RNAscope™ Technology Aids in the Retrospective Tissue Diagnosis of COVID-19 in cases with no previous testing for SARS-CoV-2
RNAscope enables detection of RNA transcripts while retaining cellular morphology, allowing researchers to localize SARS-CoV-2 RNA directly in the tissues, including in the hyaline membranes, pneumocytes and macrophages of lung, and epithelial cells of airways.

- The SARS-CoV-2 ASR will provide researchers and pathologists with a powerful technology for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in fixed tissues.
- During the pandemic, RNAscope probes have been an essential tool in elucidating the pathology of this devastating virus in over one hundred COVID-19 publications to date."
