Biosearch Technologies, a supplier of oligonucleotide components to the rapidly growing molecular diagnostics industry, announced that it has acquired worldwide rights to TurboFISH technology, a method for rapid single molecule RNA FISH. With the TurboFISH license, Biosearch maintains exclusive access to continuing Stellaris RNA FISH-based inventions from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
Coinventor Arjun Raj, now an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, states, “We are very excited about the possibilities that ultra rapid RNA FISH opens up, particularly in diagnostic applications. Being able to perform a protocol in five minutes—or sometimes as little as 30 seconds—with virtually no loss in signal integrity marks a huge shift in our conception of what one can do with RNA FISH.”
