The nCounter Core Facility was established in 2011 and is part of the CellNetworks Core Technology Platform at Heidelberg University and the MULTI-SPACE platform of the Health & Life Science Alliance.
The facility offers state-of-the-art methods for mRNA and miRNA expression profiling (nCounter SPRINT Profiler), as well as Digital Spatial Profiling at the transcript level (GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler) and protein level (GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler, Lunaphore COMET).
In addition, the facility provides various analytical methods for quality control of RNA and DNA samples.
In the DFG’s research infrastructure portal "RIsources", the nCounter Core Facility is listed under RI_00563 (nCounter SPRINT Profiler, GeoMX Digital Spatial Profiler) and RI_00613 (Lunaphore COMET).
