Cheaper way to biological sampling

System can replace more traditional, and more costly, lab equipment used by hospitals


Fluidigm's BioMark system can replace more traditional, and more costly, lab equipment used by drug researchers and hospitals.

Pictured is the BioMark 48.48 dynamic array. A robot pipes fluids into the receptacles on the left and right of the black, central chip. The fluids then travel through channels into the chip. The chip itself is a complex array of hoses and even smaller receptacles. Samples prepared and held inside the chip are then analyzed by biologists and chemists. The disposable chip cuts down the cost and time associated with biological sampling.
