Agilent Technologies

We continue the conversation on efficiency – with a focus on instrumentation and software

Taking the next step on the road to efficiency

Here, we present select results from the “Efficiency Challenge” survey ¬ and consult our efficiency experts

What exactly do we mean by efficiency?

Analysis of chlorhexidine drug substance using an Agilent 6545 Accurate Mass Q-TOF System and MassHunter Mass Profiler Software.

Continual advances in liquid chromatography have raised the bar from high performance to ultra-high performance, resulting in increased analytical, instrument, and laboratory efficiency. What’s holding you back from investments in UHPLC technology?

Lawrence (Larry) Lesko is a bioanalytical veteran with many years of academic and FDA experience. Now, as director of the University of Florida’s Center for Pharmacometrics and Systems Pharmacology, Larry uses metabolomics to discover biomarkers of drug toxicity.

As associate scientific director of Nutritional Chemistry and Food Safety at Covance Laboratories, Katerina Mastovska must tackle the most challenging analytical questions. And she loves every second.

Let’s go back to the early 1990s when an important innovation was starting to cause a stir. Electrospray ionization (ESI) essentially allowed liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) to be combined much more easily as an analytical technique.

In early 2014, Agilent Technologies approached us with a clear objective: to show how simple and robust two-dimensional liquid chromatography has become.
