NanoString
NanoString enables scientists across the globe to envision molecular interactions with three different systems, the nCounter® Analysis System, the GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) and the Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) platform (launched in 2022).
The GeoMx DSP, enables highly multiplexed spatial profiling of RNA and protein targets in various sample types, including challenging FFPE tissue. The combination of high-plex and high-throughput spatial profiling allows researchers to assess the biological implications of heterogeneity within tissues.
The new CosMx SMI will provide highly sensitive, sub-cellular imaging of RNAs and proteins directly from single cells within morphologically intact tissue samples. Complementary to the GeoMx DSP, they will span the continuum of spatial biology applications and will serve the needs of both discovery and translational researchers.
