Breakthrough System Takes Brand New Approach
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced a new
approach to chemical imaging that will bring greater clarity and
unprecedented speed to pharmaceutical, biomedical, food, and
materials science.
The Agilent 8700 Laser Direct Infrared (LDIR) chemical imaging
system represents a breakthrough in both chemical imaging and
spectral analysis.
“This ‘walk-up’ solution provides high-definition chemical
imaging more rapidly and accurately than ever, to aid in
analyzing the composition of tablets, laminates, tissues,
polymers, and fibers,” said Phil Binns, vice president and
general manager of Agilent’s Spectroscopy division. “With this
information, scientists can analyze more samples and in
greater detail in minutes instead of hours.”
Binns noted that the new system would have a significant impact
on pharmaceutical laboratories in particular “scientists will
be able to make more informed decisions—in less
time—in product formulation development and trouble-shooting.”
Using the 8700 LDIR, scientists can obtain actionable
information about active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients,
polymorphs, salts, and defects to enable users to quickly identify
and resolve issues experienced during drug development. Simply put,
the 8700 has the potential to enable labs to bring pharmaceutical
products to market faster and with greater confidence in their
formulations.
The 8700 LDIR combines unique Quantum Cascade Laser
(QCL) technology with rapid scanning optics and intuitive
Agilent Clarity software. Importantly, the system produces
images free from laser coherence artifacts to provide high
definition images of large areas.
The 8700 LDIR system’s compact size, lack of liquid nitrogen,
and automated operation make high-definition chemical imaging
accessible to operators of all levels. Now users can minimize time
spent on sample analysis and data review, which leads to increased
productivity. Simple load-and-go methods also save time and make it
ideal for walk-up use in both commercial and academic settings.
