Ncounter platform, Nanostring

Nanostring nCounter is a unique system offering the ability to multiplex up to 800 targets in a single reaction with no amplification, and count digitally to help with results reproducibility. Field of applications are multiple as CNVs, Gene Fusions, Non-Coding RNA (miRNA, lncRNA), PanCancer gene expression panels, stem cells panel, inflammation panel, infectious panel (included COVID-19), TCR Diversity...

Ncounter can processed very low amount of materials and low quality from total RNA/DNA/protein from fresh tissues or FFPE sections, whole cell extract, laser capture microdissection from fresh and FFPE tissues, single cell, PAXgene Lysed whole blood, circultating tumor cells, plasma, serum and other biofluids, exosomes… Ncounter could be an alternative to sequencing.

• RNA extraction from FFPE sample.
• RNA extraction from PBMC, sera, plasma and exosomes.
• Hybridization and run on the Ncounter platform.
• Instrument access and technical support.
