See how the competition stacks up against the 96.96 dynamic array:
Fluidigm® dynamic arrays deliver a new level of efficiency and throughput for real time PCR and genotyping applications. The dynamic array eliminates the endless liquid transfer steps to set up each and every data point. Dynamic arrays have an on-chip network of channels, chambers, and valves that automatically assemble the PCR reactions. Only 192 pipette steps are required to setup 9,216 data points.
| Features | Benefits | |
|---|---|---|
| Throughput | High-density reaction chambers. | Exponentially more data per run. |
| Workflow integration | Compatibility with licensed PCR reagents. | Allows use of validated assays already in the laboratory. |
| Workflow integration | SBS* standard footprint and inlet spacing. | Allows use of standard liquid transfer equipment. |
| Multiplexing | Matrix (N x M) architecture. | Highly multiplexed data, without the need for primer/probe multiplexing. Multiplexing made easy! |
| Flexibility | SBS* standard inlets on the input frame. | Freedom to input of any set of samples and any set of primers/probes. |
