nCounter® Analysis Systems

The nCounter Pro Analysis System delivers highly reproducible expression data on 800+ targets with zero enzymatic steps using a simple automated workflow that requires only 15 minutes of hands-on time. Compatible with even the most difficult sample types, such as FFPE, you get robust performance that drives biomarker discovery and development.

Multiomics Made Simple with the nCounter® Analysis System

Same sample. Same platform. Same run.

Measure RNA and protein together from the same FFPE or FF sample- in a three-step simple workflow, with results in just three days.

The nCounter Pro has been validated to support a 21 CFR Part 11 environment to track records for successful multi-site studies for oncology biomarker discovery and validation.

Our RNA assay panels are organized by research focus categories, making it easy to select the content that best supports your scientific area.

  • Oncology Panels & Assays
  • Immunology Products
  • Neuroscience Products
  • Infectious Disease Products
  • Cell & Gene Therapy
  • miRNA Expression Panels
  • CVD Pathophysiology Panel

All nCounter Protein Panels require use of the nCounter Human Immune Core Protein Panel, which contains 11 key housekeeping genes. Protein Panels can be combined to maximize marker coverage. These panels include carefully selected antibodies against key biomarkers and disease-relevant targets, giving you the flexibility to choose the panel that best matches your experimental needs. Stackable 200-500 plex nCounter Protein Panels can be combined with any nCounter Gene Expression Panel. All nCounter Protein Panels require use of the nCounter Human Immune Core Protein Panel, which contains 11 key housekeeping genes. Protein Panels can be combined to maximize marker coverage.
