Agilent Technologies Showcases Innovative Laboratory Solutions at Analytica China 2016

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) will showcase its latest innovations at analytica China 2016, the leading Chinese exhibition for laboratory technology, analysis, biotechnology and diagnostics, in Shanghai, Oct. 10–12, 2016. These innovations are industry-leading and are designed to meet the specific needs of the markets Agilent serves, including China.
“We innovate with a purpose—our solutions are designed to improve the
science and the economics of the laboratory,” said Patrick Kaltenbach,
president of Agilent’s Life Sciences and Applied Markets Group. “For
example, our instruments are built with the industry’s top technology,
yet designed for ease of use and efficiency, and our software unifies
the lab with multi-technique, and multi-vendor capabilities. With every
innovation, Agilent’s goal is to deliver the trusted answers and
insights customers need to realize superior outcomes.”
Featured Agilent innovation excels customers’ operational excellence:
The recently introduced Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System will be a
feature at analytica China 2016. This innovative solution makes
sophisticated gas chromatography (GC) technology easy to use with
click-and-run connections that eliminate ferrules, Guard-Chip technology
that extends column life, and a trim-free column that eliminates
retention time shifts due to column trimming maintenance. The Intuvo
9000 is ideal for high-throughput contract laboratories, and for labs
dealing with difficult sample matrices, in fields such as food,
environment, chemical and forensics testing. Customers throughout the
world, including China, anticipated these types of operational
advancements, and Agilent delivered. With a 50-year history in GC,
Agilent is the market leader; and China is the home of the company’s
largest GC production line.
Additional Agilent solutions on display that deliver operational
excellence include:

• The Agilent 4210 Microwave Plasma-Atomic Emission (MP-AES)
  Spectrometer, which enables remote elemental analysis. This
  flexibility opens up new possibilities for applications such as
  on-site process stream monitoring, as well as river-water and
  source-water monitoring—one of the key focus areas of China’s 13^th
  Five-Year Plan.
• The latest version of Agilent OpenLAB Chromatography Data System
  (CDS) Software, which makes complex data analysis simpler, and
  enables laboratories to manage their entire workflow on a single
  screen. With advances such as Peak Explorer, additional insights into
  data sets are revealed that help customers reach critical decisions
  faster.
• Agilent AdvanceBio Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) Columns,
  which deliver excellent peak shape to help biopharma companies achieve
  reproducible results when analyzing monoclonal antibodies.

Another highlight of analytica China 2016 will be next-generation
sequencing. Agilent solutions presented will include sample quality
control and automated library preparation. NGS has revolutionized
variant analysis by providing single-molecule sensitivity, enabling the
detection of rare alleles and those of low frequency, even within highly
heterogeneous samples.
Innovations that enhance laboratory efficiency:
Agilent will also demonstrate solutions that improve laboratory
efficiency through high performance, reliability and robustness:

• The Agilent 1260 Infinity II Liquid Chromatography (LC) System, which
  provides easy column handling and superior sample logistics to ensure
  fast turnaround times and high instrument utilization.
• The Agilent 5110 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission
  Spectrometry (ICP-OES) System that incorporates unique Dichroic
  Spectral Combiner (DSC) technology, enabling axial and radial view
  analysis at the same time.
• The second-generation Agilent 8900 Inductively Coupled
  Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) System with controlled-reaction
  chemistry that delivers the lowest detection limits for previously
  difficult elements such as sulfur, silicon and phosphorus. This system
  also includes a fast detector that sets a new benchmark for single
  nanoparticle applications.
• The Agilent 7010B Triple Quadrupole Gas Chromatography/Mass
  Spectrometry System that enhances efficiency with the inclusion of
  Agilent’s patented JetClean self-cleaning ion source. JetClean
  significantly reduces—or even eliminates—the need for source cleaning.
• Agilent will also showcase a new application kit that enables
  food-testing laboratories to quickly screen for 189 veterinary drugs regulated
  by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture. Additionally, Agilent
  continues to provide diversified services that improve the digital
  experience for customers. Recent enhancements include a new China
  online store that will enable easier purchasing, as well as new online
  services and learning functionality via WeChat and App.

Representatives from the Agilent CrossLab Group will participate
in analytica China 2016 to discuss the full range of Agilent’s
laboratory solutions, including Laboratory Business Intelligence,
Laboratory Equipment Management, RFID for Inventory Management and more.
“Today, we are even more focused on our customers,” said Mark Doak,
president of Agilent CrossLab Group. “We’re partnering with customers to
better understand their laboratory and workflow needs, develop and
design customized solutions, and deliver differentiated consumables,
services and consultative support. We believe these investments in China
will enable our customers to achieve better economic, operational and
scientific outcomes.”
