48.48 access array integrated fluidic chip
Fluidigm has announced the release of its 48.48 access array integrated fluidic chip for the 454 FLX system. The chip combines 48 samples with 48 primer sets to produce 48 uniquely-barcoded samples per chip at $7 per sample, and allows for amplicon tagging. This tagging incorporates adaptor sequences into primer design so the final PCR product already has the capture sequence and is ready for next-generation sequencing. The access array system also allows a researcher to harvest a sample from the chip. The system allows users to capture up to 12kb of sequence data per sample, or 576 kb per array.

Fluidigm develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary Integrated Fluidic Circuit (IFC) systems that significantly improve productivity in life science research. Fluidigm’s IFCs enable the simultaneous performance of thousands of sophisticated biochemical measurements in extremely minute volumes. These “integrated circuits for biology” are made possible by miniaturizing and integrating liquid handling components on a single microfluidic device (IFC). Fluidigm’s IFC systems, consisting of instrumentation, software and single-use IFCs, increase throughput, decrease costs and enhance sensitivity compared to conventional laboratory systems. Fluidigm products have not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as a diagnostic and are only available for research use.
