Bio-Techne has unveiled an innovative spatial biology tool through its Early Access Program, introducing a novel assay that enables high-resolution visualization of protein interactions within intact tissue samples. This technology represents a significant advancement over traditional methods by preserving spatial context while detecting functional protein proximity, rather than simply identifying protein presence.
Bio-Techne's spatial biology tool was built upon the company's established RNAscope™ platform. The assay integrates with existing multiomic workflows, allowing researchers to examine molecular interactions at subcellular levels while maintaining compatibility with standard laboratory equipment like the BOND RX system. The approach addresses key limitations of conventional techniques, which often sacrifice spatial precision when analyzing protein-RNA relationships or provide only bulk measurements without tissue localization.
