Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) and CambTEK,
Ltd. today announced an agreement to co-market CambTEK’s Rapid
Extraction System (RES) automated sample preparation technology with an
assortment of Agilent’s liquid phase separation, life science and
chemical analysis instruments and software. Used together, these
laboratory solutions provide analytical researchers in the
pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries with powerful tools to
increase the speed and efficiency of laboratory workflows and maximize
the quality of their results.
“Continuing advancements in analytical technology are enabling faster,
more robust analysis capabilities in the laboratory, but work is getting
trapped in the bottleneck of the sample preparation workflow,” said
Christian Gotenfels, Agilent’s senior product manager for liquid
chromatography. “By offering a combined solution for liquid
chromatography sample preparation, our complementary technologies will
enable analytical researchers to access faster and more robust workflow
solutions to achieve higher productivity and data quality.”
