The client

NanoString Technologies

NanoString Technologies, now part of Bruker Corporation, is a leading provider of cutting-edge life science tools that empower translational research across a wide range of applications. At the heart of NanoString’s innovation is its proprietary digital molecular barcoding technology, originally developed at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle under the guidance of Dr. Leroy Hood.

Founded in 2003, NanoString launched its first commercial instrument in 2008, followed by international expansion and the release of multiplexed gene expression assays. The company continued to evolve, introducing capabilities for microRNA and gene expression detection in 2010.

NanoString has since become a pioneer in spatial biology and spatial transcriptomics. In 2019, it introduced the GeoMx™ Digital Spatial Profiler, offering highly multiplexed spatial analysis of RNA and proteins in tissue samples. Building on this momentum, the 2022 launch of CosMx™ Spatial Molecular Imager brought single-cell, high-plex, spatial multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics capabilities to both FFPE and fresh frozen tissue, enabling unprecedented insights into cell biology. That same year, the company unveiled the AtoMx™ Spatial Informatics Platform—the first fully integrated, cloud-based solution for spatial biology and spatial transcriptomics data analysis.

In 2024, NanoString entered a new era by joining Bruker Corporation, a global leader in scientific instruments. This acquisition represents a powerful alignment of expertise, enabling even greater impact on biomedical discovery and the advancement of spatial biology and spatial transcriptomics worldwide.
