| Isotope labeled probe such as S32 are commonly used when very high sensitivity is needed due to low copy number of target RNA in the observed tissue. | An good alternative to isotope labeled probe is digoxygenin labeled. The great advantage by not using radioactive material comes with a slight lower sensitivity. | |||||
