Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, California, USA) has purchased the supercritical fluid chromatography company Aurora SFC Systems, Inc (Redwood, California, USA).
Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, California, USA) has purchased the supercritical fluid chromatography company Aurora SFC Systems, Inc (Redwood, California, USA).
Aurora and Agilent have been partners for the past two years. Aurora’s technology is embedded into several Agilent systems and is available as part of an upgrade option. Acquiring Aurora SFC assets enables Agilent to offer these products as fully integrated, single-vendor SFC solutions.
Patrick Kaltenbach, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s liquid phase separations business, commented: “We valued the partnership we had with Aurora SFC Systems and are excited to bring this technology and expertise into Agilent. The deployment of orthogonal separation techniques has gained significant importance in liquid phase separations as regulatory agencies increasingly demand comprehensive results.”

HPLC 2025 Preview: The Present and Future of Automation in Analytical Laboratories
May 22nd 2025Analytical laboratories are undergoing a fundamental transformation. In the face of increasing sample volumes, growing regulatory requirements, and the rising demand for faster, more precise, and cost-efficient analysis, optimizing laboratory processes is becoming a central focus. Automation technologies offer promising solutions in this regard. Recently, they have evolved from isolated solutions to comprehensive systems that permeate nearly all areas of laboratory practice. This development not only opens up new opportunities in terms of efficiency, data quality, and scalability but also brings technical, organizational, and personnel challenges. To successfully address these, strategic approaches are needed that consider both the technological and human dimensions of the transformation.
Quantifying Isavuconazole in Dried Blood Spots Using HPLC
