Agilent, Premier Combine Technologies for Glycomics Research

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Certain Agilent Technologies mass spectrometers and liquid chromatography instruments now support Premier Biosoft's SimGlycan glycomics software as part of a deal announced today.

"Agilent and Premier Biosoft are focused on solving the glycan and glycopeptides identification problem in biopharmaceutical analyses," Premier Biosoft CEO Arun Apte said in a statement. "Combining our powerful instruments and software will enable researchers to generate, process, and analyze highly complex data so they can put it to use in drug development."
