Lunch & Learn – Unlocking Genomic Insights: Exploring the nCounter Analysis System at PMGC

Please Register to Secure a Complimentary Lunch

Join our upcoming lunch & learn to dive deep into the nCounter® Analysis System. This reliable gene expression platform allows for multiplexing up to 800 targets using direct detection technology. With a straightforward workflow that requires just 15 minutes of hands-on time for most panels, and an automated benchtop system, you can expect highly reproducible data in less than 24 hours.

During the session, we will explore the mechanics, applications, and impacts of the nCounter platform through various case studies. We’ll also provide details on how to access the system available through the Princess Margaret Genomics Centre. Come discover why this technology has been featured in more than 7,000 peer-reviewed publications. Office hours will follow the seminar, providing an opportunity to discuss your current projects and have any questions answered. Feel free to drop by, or contact Amir Farooqui (amir.farooqui@bruker.com) to schedule a meeting.
