Fluidigm BioMark HD

Basic information

Used for high-throughput quantitative PCR and genotyping.

Application: This instrument will be used to identify microorganisms (bacteria and viruses) in a variety of systems – in the Plaster Creek watershed, in the termite gut, In the snail gut, and in biofiltration systems (for waste treatment). The instrument allows researchers to link the identity of microorganisms with their functional role in these systems, an essential but very difficult task. It can also be used in genotyping studies of any organism.
