Count nucleic acids directly

The nCounter can detect RNA and DNA in a variety of sample types, including tissue, which can be fresh, frozen, or preserved (FFPE). Nucleic acid targets are directly labelled with single target-specific color-coded probes without the need for reverse transcription or amplification. The probe set (up to 800 targets) can be pre-designed or custom-made, with the help of NanoString's design service.

Well-suited for difficult samples

Another key benefit of using the NanoString nCounter technology is the low input requirements of the system: 1-5 ng RNA and 5-300 ng DNA. The technology supports sample types such as total RNA, cell lysates, and FFPE-derived total RNA.

Data analysis

Data from the nCounter SPRINT Profiler can be directly imported into the freely available nSolver software for analysis. Alternatively, contact us to enquire about bioinformatics support.
