TSA Vivid 520

TSA Vivid 520 (Ex-Max 494 nm/Em-Max 517 nm)

TSA Vivid™ reagents are exceptionally bright dyes that offer an effective way to boost signal intensity and detect low-abundance targets in spatial biology applications. They are designed for use in ISH, IHC and ICC experiments where in situ detection of target protein or nucleic acid sequences is required. TSA Vivid reagents have been specifically optimized to deliver exceptional signal-to-noise in the RNAscope™ Multiplex Fluorescent v2 Assay for visualization of gene expression at the single cell level. They are suitable for multiplexing and can be combined with DAPI (Cat. No. 5748) counter-staining.
