Biomark HD
No more compromising for quality.
With the Biomark™ HD system, you get reliable production-scale throughput and excellent sensitivity, with a wide variety of sample types and chemistry choices to accommodate the most genomic applications. Now you can run entire projects from research to validation to routine screening on a single system with the flexibility you want and the consistency you need.

Technology
Our revolutionary integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) empower life science research by automating molecular biology in nanoliter volumes. This means using less sample and reagent, and a single microfluidic device, to achieve the high-quality, consistent results your work depends on.
Workflow
1

Prime
Prime the Dynamic Array IFC to prepare it for sample transfer.
2

Transfer
Pipet samples and primer-probe sets into the designated inlets on the IFC.
3

Load
Load the IFC on the controller, which prepares the reactions.
4

Run
Place the IFC into Biomark for thermal cycling and end-point or real-time fluorescence detection.
5

Analyze
View and analyze color-coded expression heat maps, allele maps and cluster plots for single or multipule runs with our analysis software.
