Agilent Technologies (California, USA) has announced the promotion of Fred Strohmeier, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Life Science Products and Solutions, to senior vice president, Agilent, and president of Agilent's Life Sciences and Diagnostics Group (LDG), effective immediately.
The announcement follows the planned separation of the companies into two independently publicly traded companies in September 2013. Strohmeir has worked for Agilent for 34 years and is based in Waldbronn, Germany, where he has been country president and managing director for Agilent Technologies Deutschland GmbH.
William (Bill) Sullivan, Agilent president and CEO, said: “Fred is an excellent choice to lead this fast-growing business segment. He is a highly respected leader with a wealth of deep experience and expertise in life sciences products and solutions — the foundation for LDG. Fred was an integral part of the formation of the new LDG, and I look forward to his leadership of the group.”

Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University of 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.
