nCounter® MAX Analysis System
Digital Molecular Barcoding Technology for Translational Research
The nCounter® MAX Analysis System is Fully automated and easy-to-use system which provides everything you need to complete cost-effectively in your projects in record time. This technology is more accurate and highly multiplexed than qPCR and simpler than NGS, the nCounter® MAX allows for digital examination of multiple pathways in a single tube in an extraction-free workflow requiring only 15 minutes of hands on time. Accelerate your research by spending less time on sample prep and perform your own data analysis using the included nSolver Analysis Software.
The nCounter® Max platform is a complete solution for digitally detecting and counting large sets of molecules and provides tools for researchers solving problems in the areas of translational research and molecular diagnostics. This Platform is specifically designed for core labs and possess expandable throughput to analyze differential expression of genes and proteins.

nCounter Cartridge Format
- Prep Station purifies hybridized samples and deposits them onto a glass slide which is transferred to the Digital Analyzer.
NanoString’s nCounter technology is molecular barcoding technology which digitally detects individual target molecules through the use of a unique probe pair for each target of interest. The probe pair consists of a color-coded Reporter probe, which carries the visible signal on its 5’ end, and a Capture probe, which carries a biotin moiety on the 3’ end. with a specific target. Each Reporter probe has six positions, and each position can be one of four colors. A large diversity of probes can be mixed together with the sample in a single well, with each Reporter probe interacting with a specific target. These target-probe complexes are then individually resolved and identified during data collection.
