Increase Lab Productivity Via Application Kits

Agilent Technologies, Inc announced the availability of pesticides and toxicology application kits to improve workflow and productivity in food, environmental and forensic markets. “Instruments alone don’t solve business problems,” said Denise Ibens, Solutions Business Development Manager, Agilent. “We have designed these pesticides and toxicology kits to specifically cut the costs of implementing new technologies, increase confidence in initial results and reduce the time to technical mastery.” The new application kits include the latest techniques to improve productivity in the laboratory such as GC Capillary Flow Technology, Deconvolution reporting and large GCMS and LCMS screening databases to speed up data review and analysis. The application kits include a method of analysis, the analytical column and a documentation pack with a quick-start guide. Some application kits include a free sample preparation pack, advanced video tools to learn additional system features quickly and easily, and application verification with a representative checkout standard. The quick-start kits are available for GC, LC, GC/MS and LC/MS applications in food, environmental, forensics and petrochemical analysis. Additionally, the Agilent GC and GCMS kits are preconfigured in manufacturing and the applications are pre-tested to save days or even weeks of typical start-up time and effort in the lab. Agilent application kits are focused on the method, not the hardware and software. Application-focused training tools include a video and user’s guide to support out-ofthe-box method operation. An application checkout standard reduces time required to generate test mixtures and decreases the possibility of errors. Preparation cuts the expense of buying expensive compounds for the purpose of learning and investigating new techniques.
