New spectroscopy system represents a breakthrough in chemical
imaging and spectral analysis
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that the
latest addition to its infrared spectroscopy portfolio has been
recognized as one of 2018’s best analytical advances. The
Analytical Scientist ranked the Agilent 8700 Laser Direct Infrared
(LDIR) Chemical Imaging System among this year’s top
innovations.
Agilent introduced the 8700 LDIR chemical imaging system in
October. This innovative system takes a new approach to chemical
imaging that brings greater clarity and unprecedented speed to
pharmaceutical, biomedical, food, and materials science.
“The Agilent 8700 LDIR offers rapid processing, building
chemical images over large areas in less than 30 minutes, which
could save labs both time and money,” the editors wrote. “Imaging
itself, which is fully controlled by the Agilent Clarity software,
is an entirely automated process, taking the usual spectroscopy
chores out of the hands of the operator, with a subsequent increase
in the accuracy of results. Indeed, novice operators are able to
run experiments from day one.”
“This award is a prime example of how Agilent is constantly
adapting to meet the ever-growing customer needs in the
laboratory,” said Phil Binns, vice president, and general manager
of the Spectroscopy Division at Agilent. “With the Agilent 8700
LDIR, we are now able to provide greater levels of clarity at an
unprecedented speed. This allows lab operators to work at a high
level of specificity at a speed that has not been possible before
now.”
Innovations were nominated by readers, and the winners chosen by
a panel of independent experts, along with the publication’s
editorial team.
The Analytical Scientist encompasses a print magazine, a global
website, and an iPad app. The publication integrates all aspects of
analytical chemistry, from advances in science and technology to
firsthand accounts from laboratories, and from progress in business
to advice on career development.
