Agilent Technologies, Inc. is a global leading producer of testing and measurement equipment. The corporation commenced operations in 1999 after being spun off from Hewlett-Packard. The firm is based in Santa Clara, California, and it maintains facilities in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The vendor employs over 16,000 people worldwide to conduct its operations.
Agilent designs, develops, and releases products for the academic, pharmaceutical, clinical, hemp, forensics, petroleum, renewable energy, mining, national security, agricultural, pathology, industrial, and semiconductor sectors. The firm’s lineup includes chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, mutagenesis, cytometry, immunochemistry, genetic sequencing, protein, and electrophoresis evaluation instruments.
When Agilent launched its initial public offering at the turn-of-the-century, it raised a then-record $2.1 billion. The corporation quickly rewarded the faith of its stakeholders by developing a host of groundbreaking new tools. Within its first decade in business, the firm became a leader within the life science informatics space.
Since then, the company has successfully broken into several new markets. Because of its research and development efforts and a series of strategic acquisitions, the corporation has leading positions in the bio-analytics and applied chemical fields.
Agilent continues its global expansion by regularly releasing innovative new instruments, supplies, and software.
For example, the firm recently expanded its portfolio with the release of its NovoCyte Penteon cytometer. Agilent built the tool with five lasers and up to 30 fluorescent channels to offer outstanding sensitivity, speed, and resolution. It boasts a large dynamic range of 7.2 and has fully automated compensation attributes. Accordingly, the device lets an operator select bright and dim signals in the same run. A first-rate addition to the NovoCyte line, the testing instrument extends the scope of ultraviolet laser excitation while providing an intuitive user experience.
Agilent’s pioneering drive will enable its cross-industry success for many decades to come.
