The Power of Microfluidics: Enabling Genomics Research – Even at the Single Cell Level
Dr. Liyan Pang
Field Applications Scientist, Fluidigm Corp.

2:00 PM: 451

Following an introduction to the core Fluidigm technology, the BioMark HD system, we will introduce some of the more exciting work being done:  traditional gene expression, along with Single-Cell gene expression studies; SNP Genotyping with emphasis on economy-of-scale cost benefits (reagents and labor); digital PCR (limiting dilution quantitative mutant allele determination); and an exciting workflow for Next Generation Sequencing complete sample library preparation.

After a review of our core technology, we will introduce the C1.  This new product, for single cell research, automates cell capture and cell preparation allowing for 96 individual cells to be analyzed for up to 96 genes.  The C1 will initially feed the BioMark HD and will eventually work as a front end for other detection systems such as next gen sequencing.

Refreshments will be served
