One System. Multiple Applications

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 and miRNA analysis, with assays for copy number variation analysis in development. 

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.

Copy Number Variation Analysis

NanoString is committed to expanding the set of applications available for the nCounter Analysis System. Custom assays for Copy Number Variation analysis are currently available as part of our early access user program and will become generally available later this year.
