For its part, BioVitrum presented to the participants of the conference a representative from NanoString Technologies Jim White PhD, who gave a report on "NanoString Technology - the path to the clinic for molecular biomarkers." He explained the features and advantages of their unique technology, based on the method of molecular optical digital barcode that allows for an easy (in terms of execution) automated digital method for the description of single molecules.  He also introduced a new line of reagents "nCounter Elements ™", which enables each laboratory to create their own panel using conventional oligonucleotides. At the XII International Specialized Exhibition " Biotech World 2014" BioVitrum demonstrated the design and materials in the areas of microscopy, cellular technologies and NanoString technology.
