The Fluidigm 48.48 Dynamic Array provides an efficient solution for single-cell gene expression quantification studies using off-the-shelf Taqman PCR assays and reagents.
Single-cell gene-expression experiments have traditionally been difficult and expensive to perform.
Fluidigm has introduced a single-cell gene expression technique that, when used with the Biomark System, produces inexpensive and easily reproduced gene-expression results from single-cell samples.
The key to this technology is the matrix of channels, chambers, and valves in Fluidigm's 48.48 Dynamic Array, which perform the work of assembling assays.
The product lets scientists enjoy the same qPCR data quality and experiment flexibility of a 384-well system while increasing throughput by 24 times.
To run an experiment, 48 samples and 48 assays are loaded into the inlets of the Dynamic Array input frame and pressure-loaded into 2,304 reaction chambers.
This lets scientists test 48 genes against 48 samples in a single run.
