IIt allows multiplex analysis of hundreds of targets using a molecular barcoding technology that can hybridize to many distinct target molecules in a sequence specific manner.
This technology helps thereby accurately and digitaly measure gene expression in a multiplexed manner & gives out relative abundance of hundreds of transcripts simultaneously.
It is ideal for applications requiring efficient & high-precision quantification of hundreds of targets of interest across different sample types. The technology is even compatible with difficult samples such as FFPE tissues.
nCounter supports applications for gene expression analysis, copy number analysis, miRNA profiling and analysis of RNA/protein biomarkers.
The system is flexible with the ability to detect RNA, miRNA and DNA in a variety of sample types, including tissue (fresh, frozen, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE), cell lysates, blood, saliva, and single cell (requires minimal amplification).
