Virco will market SmartGene’s secure, web-based service module, SmartGene HIV, which is a unique, integrated, data management solution encompassing various interpretation algorithms, multiple genetic targets and cumulative resistance reporting.
The SmartGene HIV platform will allow laboratories using both SmartGene and Virco services to send an order for interpretation of sequence data by Virco directly out of the SmartGene HIV module and then store the resulting vircoTYPE HIV-1 resistance reports within their SmartGene database.
David Ellis, president of SmartGene, said: “We have made excellent progress introducing our modules supporting bacterial and fungal identification by sequence analysis. As we expand the deployment of our services for virology in the US, we are delighted to enter this collaboration with Virco.”
