Agilent Technologies, Inc. (Santa Clara, California) has become a sponsor of My Green Lab, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the sustainability of scientific research.
Agilent chose to support My Green Lab because of its “holistic approach to sustainability and their understanding of the interconnectivity between all the parts that make up a laboratory-from chemicals to instruments to the environment,” according to the company.
“Sustainability is a key consideration in all our activities, and we look forward to ultimately passing on the benefits of our efforts and innovation to make better informed, sustainable choices”, said Mike McMullen, Agilent CEO.
Agilent is currently working with My Green Lab to have the company’s instruments independently audited for the organization’s Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) label. The ACT label provides information about the environmental impact of manufacturing, using, and disposing of a product and its packaging.
“We are really excited to be working with Agilent,” My Green Lab CEO Allison Paradise said in a statement. “The fact that Agilent is willing to highlight sustainability through our ACT labelling program speaks to Agilent’s leadership in this area.”
Sustainable Green Solvents in Microextraction: A Review of Recent Advancements
March 27th 2024Conventional sample preparation can be time- and resource-consuming, and a green analytical methodology can be a game-changer for scientists, in addition to facilitating selective and sensitive separations.
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.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Apr 2024)
March 27th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real time.
