Product description

Automated liquid handling for up to 12 samples, streamlines molecular profiling workflows with nCounter compatibility.

The NanoString nCounter Prep Station 5s is an automated liquid handling robot specifically designed for precise and efficient sample preparation in molecular biology and biotechnology research. This system supports the critical hybridization and purification steps within the nCounter Analysis System workflow, enabling gene expression, microRNA (miRNA), and protein analysis with high reproducibility and minimal operator intervention.

Key technical features include:

  • Automation of sample processing for up to 12 samples per run, improving throughput and consistency in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing laboratories.
  • Compatibility with the nCounter Analysis System, facilitating seamless integration into digital molecular profiling and advanced biotechnology workflows, essential for gene expression analysis and synthetic biology applications.
  • Universal voltage support (120V/220V, 50Hz/60Hz), ensuring global laboratory usability.
  • Robust design with dimensions of approximately 69 x 92 x 76 cm and weight around 144 kg (318 lbs), suitable for benchtop installation in advanced research facilities.
  • Provides streamlined automation for hybridization and purification, which are critical steps in molecular cloning workflows and biomanufacturing pipelines.

This instrument is designed to minimize manual errors and enhance reproducibility in molecular diagnostics and biomedical engineering, making it widely adopted for gene expression profiling and essential in biotechnology research involving synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.

The unit is tested to power on and initialize basic robotic functions; however, full operational verification requires software and consumables installation. It is sold with a 30-day parts warranty without included power or data cables and excludes a computer system.

The nCounter Prep Station 5s is a reliable tool for laboratories focused on digital molecular profiling, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology research, supporting critical workflows in gene expression and protein quantification essential for bioprocessing and advanced molecular biology studies.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
