April 19, 2024—NanoString Technologies announced that substantially all of its assets will be acquired by Bruker Corp.

January 2020—Veracyte and NanoString have entered into an agreement in which Veracyte has obtained exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize diagnostic tests on NanoString’s nCounter Flex system.

Dec. 5, 2019—Veracyte and NanoString have entered into an agreement in which Veracyte has obtained exclusive global rights to develop and commercialize diagnostic tests on NanoString’s nCounter Flex system.

March 2016—Medivation and NanoString Technologies have entered into a collaboration, together with Astellas Pharma, to pursue the translation of a novel gene expression signature algorithm from Medivation into a companion diagnostic assay using NanoString’s nCounter Dx Analysis System.

November 2014—NanoString Technologies announced a highly multiplexed gene expression panel for the nCounter Analysis System, the PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel. The panel will enable researchers to create profiles of the human immune response in all cancer types, potentially accelerating the discovery and development of drugs, therapies, and predictive biomarker signatures for immunotherapy treatment response.

February—NanoString Technologies announced the availability of the Prosigna Breast Cancer Prognostic Gene Signature Assay beginning in the first quarter of this year.

January 2014—NanoString Technologies launched its nCounter Dx Analysis System for high-complexity, CLIA-certified laboratories. The nCounter Dx Analysis System is the only platform 510(k) cleared by the FDA to run the Prosigna Prognostic Breast Cancer Gene Signature Assay.

NanoString Technologies has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Prosigna breast cancer prognostic gene signature assay. Based on the PAM50 gene signature, Prosigna is the company’s first FDA-cleared in vitro diagnostic assay and uses the gene-expression profile of cells found in breast cancer tissue to assess a patient’s risk of distant recurrence of disease. The Prosigna assay is performed using the nCounter Dx analy

NanoString Technologies’ nCounter Elements are digital molecular bar-coding chemistry assay components that allow users to assemble their own assays with oligonucleotide probes that target their genes of interest. The components enable highly multiplexed, direct profiling of individual molecules in a single reaction without amplification and are effective for a range of applications requiring efficient, high-precision quantitation of tens to hundreds ...

NanoString Technologies has launched its first commercial IVD product, the Prosigna breast cancer prognostic gene signature assay for the nCounter diagnostic system, in the European Union and Israel. Based on the PAM50 gene signature initially discovered by Charles Perou, PhD, and colleagues, the Prosigna assay provides a subtype classification based on the biology of an individual’s breast tumor (intrinsic subtyping), and a prognostic score (risk of recurrence, or ROR, score).
