Biomark PCR System
- Posted on 01 January 2009
The BioMark Real-Time PCR System from Fluidigm Europe is designed for dynamic arrays and digital arrays. The system integrates thermal cycling and detection of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. It acquires data for each reaction chamber of the IFC chip simultaneously and can operate in either end-point or real-time detection mode.
The system is supplied with data collection and data analysis software for genotyping, digital and real-time PCR. Real-time PCR analysis software displays the analyzed data in multiple formats, including color-coded maps of every reaction chamber on the IFC chip, amplification curves, and numeric tables. Intuitive software design enables even new users to manage, annotate and archive results.
Because the system is designed for proprietary licensed 5' nuclease assays, laboratories may easily switch to dynamic arrays and digital arrays for PCR while continuing to use tried and trusted reagents and protocols. The entire system, from the footprint of the chips to the architecture of analysis and database software, adheres to industry standards, ensuring integration with established workflows.
