APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS SELECTED BY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO LEAD DEVELOPMENT OF NEXT-GENERATION INSTRUMENT SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Applied Biosystems, an Applera Corporation business, announced that the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded the company a $24.5 million contract to accelerate the development of a prototype instrument system that is intended to improve the way infectious diseases are identified for epidemiological and biosecurity purposes. Upon successful completion of this project, this new system is expected
to yield precise, reproducible results in less than onehour following sample
processing by providing a streamlined workflow and the ability to simultaneously
analyze multiple pathogen targets ina single test. Last month, Applied Biosystems
successfully presented key components of the prototype to the United States
Air Force, which will be responsible for validating the next-generation pathogen
identification system.
