Agilent Technologies and Lipomics Collaborate

By Labmedica staff writers
Posted on 20 Feb 2007
Agilent Technologies Inc., (Santa Clara, CA, USA) and Lipomics Technologies Inc., (West Sacramento, CA, USA) will collaborate to develop diagnostic and research assays combining Agilent analytic platforms with Lipomics' expertise in biomarker discovery and validation.

The assays will focus on metabolic diseases, a family of related disorders driven in large part by subtle, long-term dysregulation of lipid metabolism. More...
Lipomics Technologies provides quantitative, diagnostically accurate measurements of more than 1,500 metabolites, allowing comprehensive profiling of whole-body lipid metabolism. The company's quantitative methods and expertise in lipid biology drive development of clinically relevant diagnostic and research assays. A wide range of Agilent liquid and gas chromatography, hyphenated technique instrumentation, reagents, microarrays, and informatics software will be deployed as needed.

Lipomics has developed considerable expertise in investigating the role that lipid metabolism plays in disease mechanisms, said Michael McNulty, general manager of Diagnostics, Agilent Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis. Both companies see significant synergies in combining this expertise with Agilent's capabilities to separate, detect, and analyze molecules in the development of new diagnostic tools.

We look forward to building clinically relevant diagnostic products together, said Meeta Patnaik, chief medical officer, Lipomics. Lipid diagnostics are [the] key to managing patients in areas such as cardiovascular risk, CNS disorders and inflammation, and requires the combination of well validated biomarkers and high-throughput technology for commercialization. The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is [the] key to the collaboration, as the microfluidic-based lab-on-a-chip system delivers the analytic performance, automation, and low sample consumption required to study metabolic biomarkers.

Lipomics Technologies provides metabolic assessments for clinical diagnostics, personalized medicine, and drug research. The company's analytic technologies generate comprehensive, accurate, and quantitative profiles of lipid metabolites.

Agilent's bio-analytic measurement business provides application-focused solutions that include instruments, software, consumables, and services that enable customers to identify, quantify, and analyze the physical and biologic properties of substances and products.
