A virtual Helping Hand from Agilent
As part of the EMEA COVID-19 contingency plan and with the objective to maintain a good level of engagement and communication with our customers, we deployed two campaigns focused on Academia.

Core Facility Wave

In this cycle the main call to action featured is the possibility for customers to request an iLab demo with our experts. We are also showing our Tools to support core facilities such as the Agilent Core facility program, ChromAcademy, Smart Alert and the CSD Resource Center.

Four ways SLIMS reinforces lab efficiency:
  1. SLIMS is a Simple Laboratory Information Management System with everything you need to move from paper to digital lab work in a short time.
  2. SLIMS can communicate with any pre-existing PCR machine or other instrument in the lab. Communication with lab instruments allows the lab to automate sample tracking, track the lab workflow start to finish, and reduce turnaround time.
  3. SLIMS is made with the latest tech, is continually being updated with new versions, is browser-based, and can be accessed securely from anywhere.
  4. SLIMS has several installation options and can be deployed rapidly and 100% remotely, with remote access to training and support throughout the process.

Teaching Labs Campaigns
Are you preparing your students for the real work environment?

We have been launching two new waves of the Teaching Labs program. This program consists in different waves every quarter showcasing key technologies that provide unique benefits for teaching labs, followed by communications of the unique financial and non-financial support programs and tools Agilent offer to teaching labs.

Goals
  • Use educational content to be viewed as the expert in LC/MS and Molecular Spectroscopy techniques and foster teaching stakeholders’ interest of the Agilent portfolios.
  • Raise awareness of the unique benefits that Agilent’s technologies bring to teaching labs and the financial help we offer to them as part of the academia programs
  • Grow market share in Academia

New Field Collaboration on Single Cell Analysis with University Ghent
Yolande Abdelnour, Product Specialist AJ

Single cell analysis is gaining a lot of interest in the research biomedical community. Agilent recently made good progress on the elaboration of the Single Cell - 8900 ICPMS/MS collaboration project with the A&MS group lead by Prof. Frank Vanhaecke at University of Ghent (Belgium).

The collaboration will focus on exploring the potential of the Agilent 8900 ICP-MS/MS instrument for fast interference-free and high-sensitivity single-cell analysis (SC-ICP-MS/MS) and high-resolution (bio)imaging based on laser ablation (LA) as a means of sample introduction (LA-ICP-MS/MS).
The goal is to develop new analytical tools of high interest to the research biomedical community and to carry out high-end applications relying on quantification of exogenous and endogenous metals in individual cells and on 2D and 3D mapping of the distribution of those elements in biological tissues.

The A&MS group has the required know-how for the successful development of this project, while an extensive A&MS collaborator network will contribute to the success of this collaboration.

This collaboration will bring Agilent greater knowledge and visibility in the life science’s scientific community.

Contact Yolande Abdelnour or Michael Rodamer for more information.

New Field Collaboration on Single Cell Analysis with University Ghent
Imperial College London Toxicology Unit, based at Charing Cross Hospital is a great Agilent reference site with GCs, GCMS’s and LC/QQQ’s, however, they were always reluctant to invest in an LC/QTOF. Chris has a long standing relationship with Dr. Sue Paterson (Lab Director), after winning his first LCMS demo here as an AE in 2014 and for the last 4 years has been pushing for them to purchase a QTOF!
Chris used this as a case study during the challenger training in Barcelona and implementing the Teach, Tailor, Take Control model finally convinced Sue of the need for a QTOF, leading her to submit a business case for funding. Gordon had a great initiative to accelerate things by collaborating and building an extensive LCMS method using their own samples. After numerous visits and discussions Gordon had converted their GCMS method to an LC/QTOF method, omitting their laborious sample derivatisation and reduced the run time by 75%.

During a meeting to present some new data, Sue announced the funding had been approved, revealing their budget and that they would be going to tender. The following week Iain, Gordon and Chris had arranged an on-site training event for the staff, where Gordon presented the Advantages of HRMS for Toxicology – Sue’s final comment being ‘Wow - This makes me want to get back in the lab!’

The following day we took the main users to the Agilent Measurement Suite at White City, where Gordon demonstrated his new method, the software and hardware perfectly. The tender was written around our solution and using the Research Support Program we were able to reach their budget, supplying a 1290II/6546 QTOF and 3 Year Silver Service Contract. Congratulations to Chris, Gordon and Iain for a great win in this prestigious account!
