Business Description
Our Mission: Mapping the Universe of BiologyAt NanoString, our mission is nothing short of mapping the universe of biology. We are driven by a deep-seated passion to improve the human condition by enabling scientific exploration in ways that were once unimaginable. As a company, we are dedicated to crafting end-to-end solutions that are simpler, easier, faster, and more relevant to the ever-evolving challenges of life sciences today.
Pioneers in Spatial Biology
At the forefront of our field, NanoString is the pioneer in spatial biology. We empower scientists around the world to visualize molecular interactions in three dimensions through three distinct systems: the nCounter® Analysis System, the GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP), and the CosMx™ Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) platform. These cutting-edge tools allow researchers to observe the multiomic expression of genes and proteins within the natural context of tissue structure.
A Legacy of Innovation
Since our establishment in 2003, we have built a sterling reputation as a respected and trusted innovator of technologies that support our customers in their tireless pursuit of answers. Our products are based on a groundbreaking digital molecular barcoding technology, originally conceived at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle under the visionary guidance of Dr. Leroy Hood.
In 2008, we introduced the nCounter Analysis System to the world, marking the commencement of international sales operations with its initial multiplexed assays for gene expression analysis. Since its commercial launch, the nCounter platform has been cited in over 4,600 peer-reviewed publications, a testament to its significance in advancing scientific research.
Breaking New Ground with GeoMx DSP
In 2019, we unveiled our first spatial platform, the GeoMx DSP. This revolutionary technology enables highly multiplexed spatial profiling of RNA and protein targets across diverse sample types, including challenging Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissues. The unparalleled combination of high-plexity and high-throughput spatial profiling empowers researchers to rapidly and quantitatively explore the biological implications of tissue heterogeneity. To date, it has contributed to the publication of over 60 peer-reviewed studies.
A Bright Future in Spatial Biology
Our commitment to innovation has yielded a robust product pipeline, including the Spatial Molecular Imager. This groundbreaking platform promises highly sensitive, sub-cellular imaging of hundreds to thousands of RNAs or proteins directly from single cells within morphologically intact tissue samples. Together with GeoMx DSP, these platforms span the continuum of spatial biology applications, catering to the needs of both discovery and translational researchers.
Uncovering the Secrets of Biology
With our cutting-edge technologies, our customers continue to push the boundaries of our understanding of biology, answering questions that were once considered unsolvable, all while obtaining consistent, reliable results.
More Than Products - Our People
Yet, NanoString is more than just innovative products. The true essence of our success lies in our people—individuals who are unwavering in their commitment to excellence and devoted to catalyzing the next biological revolution. Collectively, we embody our corporate values of ambition, grit, ingenuity, authenticity, and an unyielding focus on our customers. We live these values every day, and we never stop asking, "What if?"
