3 HIGHLY MULTIPLEXED SINGLE MOLECULE COUNTING FASTER THAN qpcr. SIMPLER THAN NGS. NanoString Technologies provides tools for researchers solving problems in the areas of translational research and molecular diagnostics. The ncounter platform is a complete solution for digitally detecting and counting large sets of molecules. Digital molecular barcoding technology enables researchers to count the number of unique transcripts in each sample. These barcodes have significant multiplexing power so you can measure up to 800 RNA, DNA, or protein targets in every sample. Digitally examine multiple pathways in a single tube. Spend less time on sample prep and data analysis. Work with difficult sample types, including FFPE tissue. Examine multiple analytes simultaneously with true multi-omic capabilities. 3

4 LESS TIME + BETTER DATA Don t just take our word for it. In a recent survey*, NanoString customers told us how the ncounter platform compared to their previous method: 78% SPEED 89% PRECISION 98% EASE-OF-USE Said They Cut Their Project Time by Half or Greater. Said They Detect >.67-Fold Change Sensitivity. Said ncounter Is Easier to Use Than Previous Methods. * Source: 204 TechValidate survey of NanoString Technologies customers. TechValidate is a trusted third-party research organization that directly interfaces with business and technology end users to collect and validate information about their products' deployments.

5 BECAUSE DISCOVERY CAN'T WAIT SIMPLE WORKFLOW Each color-coded barcode represents a unique target molecule. Barcodes hybridize directly to target molecules and can be individually counted without the need for amplification*, providing very sensitive digital data. * Single cell assays require amplification prior to sample processing and data collection. Solution Phase Hybridization HYBRIDIZE Capture Probe Reporter Probe Target-Probe Complex 2 Two probes hybridize directly to a target molecule in solution. The Reporter Probe carries the fluorescent barcode and the Capture Probe contains a biotin moiety that immobilizes the hybridized complex for data collection. PURIFY + IMMOBILIZE Target Excess Probes Removed Hybridized Probes Bind to Cartridge Complexes Are Immobilized and Aligned on Cartridge HIGHLY AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY WITH NO LIBRARY PREP After hybridization, samples are transferred to an ncounter instrument, which removes excess probes. Purified target-probe complexes are bound, immobilized, and aligned on the imaging surface of the ncounter Cartridge. 3 COUNT Barcode Counts Identity Sample cartridges are scanned by an automated fluorescence microscope. Barcodes are counted for each target molecule, and the data are exported as a simple CSV file. 3 XLSA 2 FOX5 INSULIN

10 PANELS TO HELP YOUR RESEARCH UNDERSTAND CANCER BIOLOGY WITH ncounter PANCANCER PANELS All cancers must evolve a means of sustaining self-sufficient growth and evading apoptosis. Each PanCancer panel contains 770 genes selected for their role in key aspects of cancer biology. PanCancer Pathways Panel Understand cancer biology and pathway deregulation. DNA Damage Control Transcriptional Regulation Wnt Hedgehog Angiogenesis PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel Explore the human or mouse immune response to cancer. Chromatin Modification TGF-β Apoptosis/ Cell Cycle RAS Cell Type Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Extracellular Matrix PanCancer Progression Panel Investigate cancer Notch PI3K Metastasis progression and metastasis. MAPK STAT COLLECT TRUE MULTI-OMIC DATA WITH RNA:PROTEIN PROFILING NanoString offers the only solution for simultaneous measurements of RNA and protein in a single assay. ncounter RNA:Protein Profiling technology uses DNA oligonucleotides that are bound to specific antibodies. With minimal sample preparation, these oligos can then be combined with purified total RNA from the same sample in a single hybridization reaction with ncounter probes. The PanCancer RNA:Protein Immune Profiling Assay is our first product to use this technology, combining 770 mrnas and 30 proteins to provide a comprehensive view of the cancer immune response. Counts of RNA and protein targets are easily compared because they are analyzed in the same assay, using the same instrument. UPDATED mirna EXPRESSION PANELS FOR HUMAN, RAT, AND MOUSE Enjoy highly specific and sensitive mirna profiling with NanoString s collection of mirna panels. Human v3 mirna Panel 800 human mirnas from mirbase v2 Rat v.5 mirna Panel 423 rat mirnas from mirbase v7 Mouse v.5 mirna Panel Over 600 murine and murine-associated viral mirnas from mirbase v5 All kits include a sample preparation kit with reagents for ligating unique oligonucleotides onto the mirnas of interest. An enzymatic purification step then removes any unligated material. Controls in every kit may be used to monitor ligation efficiency and specificity.

11 FLEXIBLE SAMPLE INPUTS INSIGHT FROM DIFFICULT SAMPLES ncounter assays can accept samples such as purified total RNA, raw cell or blood lysates, and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) extracts with no loss in precision. Even severely degraded RNA can be a viable sample input. Many ncounter assays require only 0 ng or less of input material, which is ideal for investigators working with precious samples. This amount is equivalent to a single curl of FFPE tissue, and data are comparable to that generated with matched fresh-frozen material.,000,000 cells CRUDE CELL LYSATES Lysate Counts, ,000 cells 2,500 cells Three cell lysates (2,500, 5,000, and,000 cells) were used during sample hybridization and compared to 0 ng of purified total RNA.

12 DIGITAL PRECISION OBSERVE THE SMALLEST CHANGES Direct, digital counting technology reduces the risk of signal saturation, providing reliable data across a wide dynamic range. Correlation between technical replicates often exceeds Lot-to-lot and site-to-site variability is minimal, facilitating long-term studies across multiple independent testing sites.,000 FEWER TECHNICAL REPLICATES Replicate 2 Counts,000 0 Gene counts from two technical replicates plotted against each other demonstrate the assay reproducibility over a wide dynamic range (-50,000 counts). One total RNA sample was split into two separate hybridization reactions and processed independently. These data demonstrated the high level of sensitivity and precision of the assay (R 2 = 0.999), even at very 0 Replicate Counts,000,000 low levels of expression. 35% PRECISION ACROSS A LARGE RANGE OF EXPRESSION Average Percent CV 25% 5% 5% 0 > < 0.3 Genes were grouped by level of expression in 0 ng of total RNA and percent CV was calculated for each group. Many genes were expressed at less than one transcript per cell and could be measured with less than 5% CV, allowing quantitative measurements of 2-fold changes or less. Precision increase with level of expression, in some cases allowing for quantification of less than.2-fold.

Researchers can customize any NanoString off-the-shelf panel kit or add genes to any custom CodeSet by utilizing up to 30 unique Reporter Probes exclusively formulated for use in Panel-Plus and CodeSet-Plus products. Plus products require minor modifications to sample hybridization protocols. After hybridization, all subsequent steps are performed exactly as described in the instrument manual. Customize a Panel Add up to 30 of additional genes or a collection of specific controls to make your panel unique to that experiment. Update a Large CodeSet Utilize results from your experiments and add new genes over time to keep your custom CodeSet updated. Create Specific Control Sets Use different Plus reagents with different samples or cell types. PANEL-PLUS REAGENTS Any off-the-shelf panel kit can be customized using Panel-Plus reagents. In addition, using a panel kit combined with Panel-Plus is less expensive compared to the same gene set ordered as a custom CodeSet. CODESET-PLUS REAGENTS Update custom CodeSets that may be used to analyze large sample sets over many months. Genes of interest that become known from ongoing research, or from a new publication, can be easily added to a custom CodeSet. Purchasing a larger custom CodeSet also provides a more cost-effective solution when compared to purchasing multiple smaller custom CodeSets. 4
