According to Paracel, which develops news filtering software, BioView TODAY aims to provide the industry's managers, executives and scientists with Web-based access to breaking news on competitors, patents, scientific discoveries, regulatory developments and financial market information.

The site splits information into Today's News, Week in Review and a historical archive. Additionally, users can opt to run BioAlert! software, which provides a scrolling ticker with headlines and selected stock quotes. When a headline is selected, BioAlert! automatically launches the user's Web browser and displays the full text of the article.

Among the first companies to sign up with BioView is Perkin-Elmer Applied Biosystems, which will provide access to the service for 500 of its executives, managers and scientists. The site will be available for a fixed yearly subscription, although exact details have yet to be announced.
