SNP Genotyping 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
mid-multiplex genotyping at very high throughput using IFCs called
dynamic arrays™. The matrix of channels, chambers and valves
perform 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.
