FAQ

What happens to the yield for each Stellaris™ oligonucleotide if my submitted sequence is not long enough to return 48 probe sequences?

The final delivered amount of each oligonucleotide in a Stellaris RNA FISH Probe set will vary according to the total number of oligonucleotides designed. If there are less than 48 probes in the set, then the total amount for each will increase such that the final blended amount is 5 nmol. Additionally, it is not usually necessary to have 48 distinct probes to distinguish an RNA target and visualization of single RNA molecules is possible with less than 48 probes in a set.
