NanoString’s technology uses color-coded molecular barcodes that can hybridize directly to many different types of target molecules, making it ideal for a range of discovery and translational research applications.  Our portfolio of application-specific solutions currently includes kits for gene expression, copy number variation and miRNA analysis. 

We are committed to expanding the range of applications enabled on the nCounter Analysis System and are continually working with customers and other partners to develop novel solutions for current and emerging areas of biological research and discovery.

Gene Expression Analysis

Gene Expression CodeSets for the nCounter Analysis System offer a cost-effective way to analyze the expression levels of up to 800 genes simultaneously, with sensitivity comparable to qPCR.  The system can directly assay tissue and blood lysates as well as FFPE extracts in a simple workflow that only requires 15 minutes of hands-on time per reaction.

miRNA Expression Analysis

With multiplexed target profiling of miRNA transcriptomes in a single reaction, the nCounter miRNA Expression Assay Kits deliver high levels of sensitivity, specificity, precision, and linearity across a wide range of research areas such as oncology, neurobiology, developmental biology, and stem-cell research.

miRGE Analysis

Revolutionizing the workflow for profiling miRNA and mRNAs expression, nCounter miRGE  CodeSets allow for the simultaneous profiling of both miRNAs and mRNAs in a single reaction. Two assays in a single tube means fewer pipetting steps, less preparation time and only a single sample aliquot. miRGE CodeSets can profile samples from FFPE extracts, as well as from several other precious/difficult sample types.

Copy Number Variation Analysis

The nCounter Copy Number Variation CodeSets enable better results, faster, and with substantially less effort than PCR or arrays. With the lowest hands-on time of any platform, these CodeSets provide everything needed to interrogate up to 800 regions of the human genome in a single multiplexed reaction.

Leukemia Analysis

The NanoString nCounter Leukemia Fusion Gene Expression Assay Kit allows researchers to profile a comprehensive set of fusion genes which result from balanced translocations in different leukemia sub-types. In addition to leukemia fusion genes, the kit includes probes for 11 wild-type genes involved in the different translocations, 12 leukemia-related biomarkers, and 2 normalization genes.
