Our new NanoString nCounter

The Crown Institute for Genomics has acquired a new instrument, the NanoString nCounter® FLEX. This instrument provides a simple and cost-effective solution of direct digital quantification for multiplex analysis of up to 800 known RNA, DNA, or protein targets in one tube. The quantification is done directly on the molecular target and avoids biases introduced by enzymatic reactions (e.g. reverse transcription, amplification or ligation). It is ideal for a range of applications requiring efficient, high-precision quantitation of hundreds of target molecules across a sample set.
