Genomics Applications 

The Agilent BioCel System is designed for automated, rapid characterization of pathogens; in this case, the Influenza A (H1N1) virus.

The automatic genetic sequencing of viruses can process a large number of samples, faster and more reliably. The automated BioCel System can sequence 10,000 or more influenza viruses per year and double shift and multiply throughput in pandemic mode (limit number of sequenced genes). Faster viral strain identification provides more time for implementation of mitigation and containment strategies ... read entire application note.
