The power of microfluidics

Integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) do the work for you

IFCs are a versatile tool that concurrently automates hundreds to thousands of reactions per sample within a single run. Fast-track genomic studies and streamline workflows for genotyping, gene expression, sample identification, copy number variation and NGS library preparation.

Proven proprietary technology: How it works

Experiments are easily transferable to IFCs and require a fraction of the sample and reagents needed for microplates. IFCs are precisely fabricated in microscopic dimensions with extremely accurate volumetric chambers for nanoscale processing of individual reactions.

Microfluidic arrays: Future forward


• Perform multiple PCR-based applications including targeted NGS library preparation
• Achieve lower cost and higher operating efficiency through volume miniaturization and workflow automation
• Benefit from flexible and scalable sample throughput without changing technologies
• Automation-compatible design enables integration with lab robotic systems

 

Key benefits of IFCs

Scalable
Multiple IFC formats make it easy to manage dynamic sample or assay counts.

Flexible
Open architecture allows the user to easily add, remove, replicate or change assays within a panel.

Cost-effective
Reduce cost and waste through lower consumption of reagents and lab plastics.

NEW: Flex Six IFC for the Biomark X9 System 

The Flex Six™ integrated fluidic circuit is the only IFC with six independent partitions. Run them separately or together in any combination to maximize flexibility, minimize waste and accelerate small-batch studies on the Biomark™ X9 System for High-Throughput Genomics.
