Agilent Technologies has renamed Velocity11 as Agilent Automation Solutions. Discussing the name change, Agilent Automation Solutions Division general manager Rob Nail said; "Our name has changed, but our commitment to help our customers automate workflows has never been stronger."
Agilent acquired Velocity11 in late 2007 and continues its focus on automating laboratory processes by introducing the Direct Drive Robot and VWorks Automation Control Software. According to the company the robot advances high-throughput screening for drug-discovery research and can also be used in genomics applications, including DNA extraction and PCR sample preparation. The software is described by the company as a complete software solution that integrates and controls scheduling for all levels of automation from stand-alone liquid handlers to large integrated systems.
Agilent Automation Solutions is part of the Agilent's Life Sciences Solutions Unit.
Evaluating Antimicrobial Potential of Articaine Derivatives in Oral Infections with CMC
May 20th 2025Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) technology was used by researchers in screening efficacy and antibacterial ability of articaine (AT) derivatives in the pre-emptive treatment of oral infections.
Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC) and Direct Online Disruption of Lipid Nanoparticles
May 19th 2025Two proof-of-concept hydrophilic interaction chromatography HILIC) methods were developed in a joint study conducted by the University of Geneva (Switzerland), Sanofi, and the Waters Corporation—one for disrupting LNPs and retaining the mRNA, and another for detecting only unencapsulated mRNA to assess encapsulation efficiency. LCGC International spoke to Jonathan Maurer, first author of the paper that resulted from this study, about the methods and the efforts that led up to their development.
This article discusses how integrating seven prioritization strategies can enhance compound identification, support environmental risk assessment, and accelerate decision-making.
