Technology
Fluidigm's exclusive integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) empower life science research by automating molecular biology in nanoliter volumes. This means using less sample and reagent, and a single microfluidic device, to achieve the high-quality, consistent results your work depends on. Using an endpoint reader, thermal cycler and IFC controllers customized for your throughput requirements, the EP1 system offers the most efficient and economical solution for low- to mid-multiplex SNP genotyping and digital PCR.
