Agilent Technologies Inc. said Friday it launched a new product demonstration center that showcases the company's life science and chemical analysis capabilities.
Santa Clara-based Agilent (NYSE:A) said the new center follows Monday's opening of a similar center in Bangalore, India, and recent expansions of Agilent product demonstration centers in Paris, France; Manchester, U.K.; and Waldbronn, Germany. Planned for late 2007 is another center in Little Falls, Delaware.Agilent also has centers specializing in life sciences and chemical analysis in Beijing, Shanghai and Hajiochi, Japan.
Customers visiting the demonstration centers have the opportunity to interact with Agilent senior management and applications specialists. They are able to observe and participate in proof of performance for Agilent's chemical and bioanalytical systems using their own samples.
The 5,000-square-foot Santa Clara facility houses a complete array of Agilent's core platform products, including liquid and gas chromatography systems, LC and GC mass spectrometry systems and Agilent's DNA Microarray Scanner, the centerpiece of the Agilent microarray platform. The facility features multimedia-equipped conference rooms, a general wet lab, a proteomics prep lab, a genomics lab and an ICP-MS lab.
Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
