Fluidigm, a California-based life science research device provider, has filed with the SEC to become public this morning. The offering shows a total proposed maximum aggregate price of $86,250,000. They applied to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker “FLDM.” The book-running managers are listed as Morgan Stanley, UBS Investment Bank, and Leerink Swann.

They believe their product has the flexibility to be used in a variety of science sectors and overcomes other existing microwell-based systems.

The company posted product revenues of $3.9 million and $4.4 million in 2006 and 2007, respectively. However, due to high production, research and development, and other expenses, the company showed net losses of $23.5 and $25.4 in 2006 and 2006, respectively.
