Digital PCR & copy number variation using the Fluidigm®
EP1™ system
The Technology
The high throughput Fluidigm EP1™ System uses the innovative
integrated fluidic circuit (IFC). This platform is ideal for
digital PCR and high resolution CNV studies with high sensitivity
and flexibility using IFCs called digital arrays™. The matrix of
channels, chambers and valves do the complex work of assembling the
arrays.
Benefits of IFCs
Unlike other liquid handling methods, fluids are pressurised
into the chip where reaction volumes are controlled by the internal
well geometries. This eliminates the volume variability associated
with other procedures. This results in experiments being conducted
with less sample and reagent.
