Business Description

Fluidigm Corporation is a Delaware Corporation formed in 1999. The Company develops, manufactures and market Integrated Fluidic Circuit systems that improve productivity in the life science industry. The Company's Integrated Fluidic Circuits, or IFCs, integrate a diverse set of critical liquid handling functions on a nanoliter scale. The Company currently markets two IFC systems, the BioMark system for real-time qPCR and the Topaz system for protein crystallization. Each system consists of single-use IFCs, loaders that control the IFCs, readers that detect reactions on the IFCs and software for analyzing, annotating and archiving the data produced by the readers. The Company's products include Access Array system, a sample preparation system; BioMark system for genetic analysis; EP1 system for genetic analysis enables SNP genotyping and end point digital PCR research through integrated fluidic circuits; TOPAZ system for screen-to-beam protein crystallization; and chips and kits. The Company competes with Affymetrix, Applied Biosystems, BioTrove, Illumina, Roche Diagnostics and Sequenom. It distributes its microfluidic systems through direct sales force and support organizations located in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and through distributors or sales agents in several European, Latin American, Middle Eastern and Asia-Pacific countries. The company competes with both established and development stage life science companies that design, manufacture and market instruments for gene expression analysis, genotyping, other nucleic acid detection and additional applications. For example, companies such as Affymetrix, Inc., Agilent Technologies, Inc., Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Illumina, Inc., Life Technologies Corporation, LGC Limited, Luminex Corporation, NanoString Technologies, Inc., PerkinElmer, Inc. (through its acquisition of Caliper Life Sciences, Inc.), RainDance Technologies, Inc., Roche Applied Science (a division of Roche Diagnostics Corporation), Sequenom, Inc. and WaferGen Bio-Systems, Inc. have products that compete in certain segments of the market in which it sells its products.
