We being And this next to for at the have meeting on the Society Cancer have of Immunotherapy meeting posters at few in a course lot We AGBT had a and of week for AMP that's books we'll week. Meeting. show scheduled the February. the some presented

more So get to we're out information exciting really there.

Dan Arias

be guys. go discovery not just what I on happened point the that's afternoon performance, the it's just have question inside Thanks. something that to to NanoString, mix? on business, staying work platforms, going but to Is Good to to work like the backend. about but it's back that competitive NGS looking going could that nCounter an Brad, GeoMx understand just in

Brad Gray

your consumable sales think is are we really GeoMx question asking, that Is cannibalizing sales? question your I Dan with Dan? nCounter consumable

Dan Arias

yes. less, or More

Brad Gray

think because that I don't and researchers. there accounts. I slower Whole because GeoMx our Transcriptome compared adopters know case been the is -- accounts Atlas have No, what think Yes. biopharma we academic the we any assay our is relatively believe within of biopharma to that's can reason And to pull-through see

we buying And were we'd if – seeing that's directly terms be cannibalization, we're seeing. not we of – really not that And in who what seeing Transcriptome the was that's have so, if Whole Atlas.

biopharma right and that biomarker In I accounts, than seeing you'd that we're kind think the fact, fact GeoMx it expect now a than research which if to hypothesis at academic we corroborates it's cannibalization disproves effect. customers, average the is it the within pull-through you on of little looked seeing at consumable less were be slower

Dan Arias

get of start of data think year, on expect the in that steps any maybe but that to production ahead today, I when the of sort manufacturing? and about market? platform. look of to more in of interest is constraints the you do sort constraints, there the the back half to half then there taking necessarily Are the as know should not And we released the second getting orders you're Okay. sort we you instrument that just imagine hoping supply when thing, system that you XXXX commercialization up CosMx the
