BioMark™ System Advantages

The BioMark™ line of life science products are meeting the challenges of today’s high throughput research environment through integrated fluidic circuits known as dynamic arrays and digital arrays. These innovative products allow scientists to practice tried-and-true techniques, such as TaqMan® assays, while realizing a previously unachievable throughput.

The advantages of the BioMark system include:

• Savings. Researchers save on reagents, pipette tips, time, and on the upkeep of expensive liquid-handling robots.
• More Data. Far more data are generated compared to microwell chips, and with no pre-spotting required.
• Throughput. Each 96.96 Dynamic Array is capable of producing 9,216 real-time qPCR data points in the same amount of time as a single 384-well plate, while using just 1/200th the amount of reagents.
