The spring 2009 edition of Fluidigm's e-newsletter - IFC Application Hotspot - is now available to download for free from the company's website.
The IFC Application Hotspot provides the latest news on how integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) enable ground-breaking advances in life science research.
In each edition, Fluidigm reports on new products, applications innovations and customer advances using revolutionary IFC technology.
The latest issue reports upon accurate and easy methods to genotype copy-number variants using nanofluidics and PCR.
Recent experiments demonstrate the versatility of Dynamic Arrays in measuring gene copy number variations with unparalleled throughput and sensitivity.
A review of the recently published customer article 'Fetal Aneuploidy Detection from Cell-Free DNA and Maternal Plasma RNA' provides an independent insight into the underlying benefits of digital PCR technology.
New technology developments describe how the Fluidigm Slingshot kit lets the user achieve the ideal DNA library concentration for next-generation sequencing - without the need for titration runs, reference samples or mass bias calibrators.
An informative introduction is also provided for the 48.770 Digital Array.
The 48.770 Digital Array generates almost 37,000 individual qPCR reactions and provides 48 individual sample-inlets.
