Supply and services agreement for catalogue and custom microarrays, microarray readers, bioinformatics software, and liquid chromatographs/mass spectrometry systems
Agilent Technologies says it will supply microarray gene expression products to Incyte Genomics, the genomic information company.
The supply and services agreement allows Agilent to supply Incyte with catalogue and custom microarrays, microarray readers, Rosetta Resolver bioinformatics software, and Agilent 1100 liquid chromatographs/mass spectrometry systems.
"We are aggressively building our internal drug discovery research capabilities, and microarrays are a key component of today's research tool set," said Brian Metcalf, executive vice president and chief drug discovery scientist for Incyte Genomics. "This agreement with Agilent for scientific instrumentation will further our research into gene expression studies for disease and drug discovery." "We are pleased that Incyte has adopted Agilent's printed microarrays and LC/MS instrumentation," said Barney Saunders, vice president and general manager of Agilent's BioResearch Solutions.
"We look forward to helping Incyte conduct gene expression studies for disease and drug discovery.
This deal will further consolidate and strengthen Agilent's position as a major manufacturer of printed DNA microarrays, LC and LC/MS systems, and as a supplier of reagents and kits for sample preparation."
