## Notice

The nanoString GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler and nCounter Max combination is a novel cutting-edge technology which enables spatially resolved, digital characterisation of proteins or mRNA in tissue specimens, in highly multiplexed assays. The use of highly multiplexed assays combined with precise spatial information is leading to fundamental changes in how tissue samples are analysed within their 2D and 3D context. Importantly, the GeoMx also allows analysis of cultured cells and tissue as well as tissue sections, allowing modelling of in vitro interactions. As well as being integral to the GeoMX workflow, the nCounter can also be used as a powerful stand-alone single-cell analysis instrument.
