The Biomark IFC controller MX from Fluidigm Europe is a self-contained system designed to automatically prime and load 48.48 dynamic array and digital array integrated fluidic circuits, one at a time.
The MX is a compact, fully integrated system with internal computer, touch-screen control, and internal air source capable of setting up 2,304 reactions within minutes.
It is said to be an ideal solution for labs undertaking gene expression, genotyping, and real-time and digital PCR experiments with lower throughput requirements, tight budgets, and limited bench space.
Fluidigm's Biomark integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) controller MX automates the setup of dynamic-array or digital-array chips.
After samples and assays have been pipetted into the inlets of the input frame, the chip is placed onto the controller and, with a few taps of the touch screen, samples and assays are loaded into the integrated fluidic circuits.
After the setup is complete, the IFCs are placed on the Biomark real-time PCR system for thermal cycling and data collection.
The Biomark IFC controller MX is a fully integrated system that includes built-in software and a self-contained gas source for pressure-loading samples and assays into the dynamic-array and digital-array chips.
