Our guest for this episode is BLINK Product Developer Hartmut Bocker, Ph.D., to talk to us about the BLINK X device that won the New Product Award at SLAS2023!
Listen in to learn how BLINK X's lightning-fast cycling times and unique color-coded bead system are making cross-interference free multiplexing a reality. As we discuss the future of the BLINK X system, you'll learn about the development of a small device for consumer use and a high throughput platform for researchers.

Key Learning Points:

  • What makes the BLINK X new and innovative
  • The inspiration behind the BLINK X device and its use cases
  • How and why BLINK uses hydrogel beads for the BLINK X
  • The advantages of using the speed system over traditional microfluidic PCR
