Access Array Overview

Fluidigm's new Access Array is a microfluidic chip that allows the user to amplify 48 specific amplicons from 48 unique samples, in effect preparing 48 libraries in just a few hours. The power of the Access Array does not stop with massive throughput capability. Due to the unique design of the Access Array, each sample can be differentially barcoded and tagged at the amplification step, allowing for multiplexing at the sequencing step and completely eliminating the need for traditional library preparation. Access Array is an open platform and as such it can be used on any PCR-based sample preparation application using the reagents and the primers of your choice.
