Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced it will introduce
its next-generation
microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometer (MP-AES) to the mining
industry at Mining
Indaba, Feb. 3-6, in Cape Town, South Africa. Mining Indaba is the
world’s third-largest mining conference, dedicated to the capitalization
and development of mining interests in Africa.
Agilent will also present its full portfolio of solutions for the mining
industry, including MP-AES, inductively coupled plasma optical emission
spectrometer, micro gas chromatograph, portable Fourier transform
infrared spectrometer, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer,
atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma triple quad mass
