Agilent Measurement Suite at Imperial to boost research in
molecular sciences
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and Imperial College London
have announced that, as part of its ongoing collaboration, several
state-of-the-art analytical instruments have been installed into
the college’s Molecular Sciences Research Hub.
The new Agilent Measurement Suite (AMS) will provide Imperial
faculty, researchers, students, and collaborators access to the
latest analytical instruments. With the help of Agilent
instruments, scientists will be better able to push forward their
interdisciplinary research in areas such as clinical diagnostics,
biopharmaceuticals, energy and chemicals, materials, food,
agriculture, and environmental testing.
“Imperial is one of the world’s leading universities, and this
suite opening demonstrates that Agilent is a catalyst for the
advancement of science through academic research,” stated Jack
Wenstrand, Agilent’s director of University Relations and External
Research. “Agilent’s products and the collaborative engagement of
our technical staff will accelerate academic research at Imperial
as we explore measurement needs of the future.”
“The generous contribution that Agilent is making in
establishing the Agilent Measurement Suite will have a
tremendous impact on our capacity to perform globally significant
science across a range of challenges in human and animal
health, the development of new molecules and materials, and in
enhancing their understanding
of our environment,” stated Professor Tony Cass,
Professor of Chemical Biology, Department of Chemistry and
Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London and
Fellow of both the Royal Society of Chemistry and Society of
Biology.
“Exciting as the access to advanced instrumentation is, also
exciting is the opportunity to work closely with Agilent’s
engineers and applications specialists in a collaboration that will
both advance the science and define the requirements
for the next generation of instrumentation,” continued Professor
Cass. “As director of the AMS, I’m looking forward with keen
anticipation to working with colleagues across the college to do
exciting and important science enabled by the Agilent
instrumentation.”
