Biothreat Identification

As biothreat identification and pathogen research become more important, it is essential to have fast and reliable bioinformatics tools to effectively compare novel sequences against large, established sequence databases. With solid-state reliability, the DeCypher^® and CodeQuest^® solutions provide the performance needed to tackle even the largest searches and are easily transported to any location with a power source. Try that with a big CPU cluster!

The advantages of the TimeLogic system for biothreat identification include:

• Rapidly match sequence data to biological threat databases
• Deploy as workstation or server
• Low energy requirements (110V outlet, 300 Watts)
• Minimal points of failure for excellent reliability
• Technology proven by 12 years of market success
