The Biomark Microfluidics system for high throughput genotyping, expression profiling and CNV analysis.

The microfluidic BioMark¿ Genetic Analysis Platform from Fluidigm (www.fluidigm.com) is a fully integrated system enabling high throughput analysis of gene expression, SNP genotyping and absolute quantification of nucleic-acid sequences utilizing Digital and/or Dynamic Array Integrated Fluidic Chip (IFC) technology. Besides increasing the genetic and genomic analysis capacity the system at the same time enables significant reduction in the use of precious DNA/RNA samples and significant reduction (up to 100-fold) of consumable cost due to the nanoliter based reaction volumes (i.e. cost per datapoint).
