Welcome!
ALERT ATTENTION ⚠️
In observance of a holiday, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Friday, June 19th, 2026. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Monday, June 22nd, 2026. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.
Founded in 2023, the Institute for Infectious Disease Translational Research serves as the state's first and only infectious disease-focused institute. While the lab primarily focuses on clinical and entomologic pathogen analysis, the research team and equipment have broader applicability. The core can provide services for direct detection of genetic markers and next-generation sequencing. Additional services coming soon include, 1) direct detection of protein and biomarkers, 2) antibody detection for biomarker or immunologic response evaluation, and 3) transcriptomics.
Anyone seeking assistance or wanting to learn more about this core are encouraged to schedule a free consultation!
