Biotin-labeled RNA can be used as a hybridization probe for:
- Northern blots
- Southern blots
- Plaque or colony lifts
- RNase protection experiments
- In situ hybridization
- Microarray hybridization
The labeled RNA can be subsequently detected with a fluorescent streptavidin conjugate or by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) using a Streptavidin-AP conjugate.
