Fluidigm, In-Q-Tel reach second agreement

Mar. 21, 2006 – Fluidigm Corp. today announced a strategic agreement with In-Q-Tel, an independent, private, not-for-profit company established by the Central Intelligence Agency to further develop Fluidigm’s integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) technology for sequence detection applications.

This marks the second development agreement between Fluidigm and In-Q-Tel. The South San Francisco- based Fluidigm fabricates IFCs, which are micro-mechanical chips for fluid handling. IFC fabrication methods make it possible to integrate hundreds of thousands of biochemical reactions in an area roughly the size of a microscope slide.
