Agilent Technologies and ACD/Labs Sign Marketing Agreement

Agilent Technologies and Advanced Chemistry Development are to co-market ACD/AutoChrom for ChemStation software that automates method development for Agilent HPLC, Rapid Resolution LC and LC/MS systems. The new software is aimed at chromatographers to develop better, more robust methods, in less time.
“We are very impressed with the ability of AutoChrom to automatically generate complex injection sequences, such as intelligent solvent and buffer combinations and the sophisticated data evaluation tools, which will save the user a significant amount of time,” said Michael Frank,
Agilent Product Manager, Pharmaceutical Solutions. “We are also happy that AutoChrom is compatible with our Rapid Resolution LC system, the most flexible LC on the market.”
“ACD/Labs is pleased to continue our collaboration with Agilent,” said Michael McBrien, Chromatography Product Manager, ACD/Labs. “We have worked with them in the past when designing our method development tools; AutoChrom takes the collaboration a step further to maximise
benefit to users of the most popular chromatographic data systems in the world.”
ACD/AutoChrom for ChemStation currently supports Agilent 1100, 1200 and 1200 SL Series liquid chromatographs, and model G1946 and G1956 mass spectrometers. Support for Agilent 6100 Series mass spectrometers is in
development, and is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2008.
