The Fluidigm BioMark IFC Controller MX is a self-contained system that is specifically designed to automatically prime and load 48.48 Dynamic Array and Digital Array integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs), 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 suited for labs that are undertaking gene expression, genotyping, realtime and digital PCR experiments with lower throughput requirements, tight budgets, and limited bench space.

The controller 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.

The system includes built-in software and a self-contained gas source for pressure-loading samples and assays into the dynamic array and digital array chips.
