Biotechnology promises to become the defining technology of the 21st century.
Biotechnology promises to become the defining technology of the 21st century. Continued development of the industry fundamentally depends on new tools that can deliver miniaturization and integration—just as the integrated circuit gave rise to the computer age.
Today, with MSL™ technology tens of thousands of fluid control valves and interconnected channels are fabricated within miniature devices. We call these devices integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) because, like their analog in the semiconductor industry, they are networks of discrete pathways and intermediate switches. Instead of electrons, they move molecules of biological samples and reagents in a dazzling variety of patterns.
