HALO® Module

FISH

(Designed for RNAscope®)

Indica Labs’ FISH module quantifies an unlimited number of DNA or RNA FISH probes on a cell-by-cell basis. This analysis module can be used with most multiplex RNA FISH assays including RNAscope® and supports the H-score protocol for RNAscope® recommended by the manufacturer, ACD, a Bio-techne brand.

File formats supported by the HALO image analysis platform:

  • Non-proprietary (JPG, TIF, OME.TIFF)
  • Nikon (ND2)
  • 3D Histech (MRXS)
  • Akoya (QPTIFF, component TIFF)
  • Olympus / Evident (VSI)
  • Hamamatsu (NDPI, NDPIS)
  • Aperio (SVS, AFI)
  • Zeiss (CZI)

HiPlex RNAscope™ Application Note

Using our FISH module we demonstrate how to perform 12-plex RNAscope image analysis using ACD’s HiPlexv2 assay.

RNAscope™ Image Analysis Using HALO and HALO AI

Using our ISH module for brightfield and our FISH module for fluorescence, we demonstrate how to quantify ISH signal from RNAscope™ assays based on ACD Bio’s recommended scoring guidelines.
