Velocity11 Will Present ``Automating Applications in a Protected Environment'' at LabAutomation2008

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--As the premier sponsor of LabAutomation2008, Velocity11, an
Agilent Technologies Company, will present a workshop entitled
'Controlled Environments in Laboratory Automation' at the show in Palm
Springs January 28, 2008 at 12:30 in Mesquite C room, lunch will be
provided.

Environmental control is critical to successful automation of a
variety of biological and biochemical applications. Requirements for
systems can range from low complexity configurations for compound
management in ambient or low temperature chambers with dust protection
and low humidity, to sophisticated cell culture environments demanding
sterility, higher temperatures and a controlled environment.

The workshop will guide attendees through a variety of approaches
Velocity11 has taken to protect its customers' valuable reagents,
cells, and compounds. Working with liquid handling stations,
workstations, and integrated systems, attendees will see how
environmental control can be achieved by integrating with precisely
controlled sub-units such as dedicated incubators and compound storage
systems or by controlling the environment of entire systems.

Visitors to Booth 327 will be able to find out more about how
Velocity11's new environmental control technology option for its
BioCel automation platform ensures compound integrity by creating a
low humidity environment with nitrogen gas, reducing DMSO water
absorption. For cell-based assays, contamination on the BioCel system
is minimized with a Class 100 HEPA or ULPA filtered environment.
Additional humidity and temperature control maintains an environment
for optimal cell growth.

Since 1999, Velocity11 has combined innovative engineering with
high standards of quality and customer service, to design and
manufacture flexible high-performance automation systems and
instruments for applications that include medium to high throughput
screening of cell-based and enzyme assays, ELISA, plasmid and
sequencing preparation, PCR clean-up, solubility, and more.
