Executive Summary
Beckman Coulter and Eksigent Technologies are to examine possibilities for incorporating Eksigent's microfluidic system technology into future Beckman instrument platforms. Livermore, California-based Eksigent's technology uses an electrokinetic pump, which uses applied electric field to generate fluid flow and high pressures. The technology will enable Beckman's instruments to reach high analysis speed and sample throughput, Eksigent says.
