Agilent Technologies Announces New Sample-Preparation Product for Food Testing

SANTA CLARA, Calif.-- AgilentTechnologies Inc.  recently introduced a new product to helpfood-safety labs more accurately test high-fat samples.

“By preparing samples with our new product, labs will bebetter able to remove matrix interferences that have made their test resultschallenging to reproduce—until now”

The new product,Agilent Bond Elut Enhanced Matrix Removal-Lipid, uses an innovative sorbenttechnology that gives food-safety labs a better way to address what has beenone of their most challenging tasks.

“By preparing sampleswith our new product, labs will be better able to remove matrix interferencesthat have made their test results challenging to reproduce—until now,” saidHelen Stimson, Agilent vice president and general manager of the Chemistries andSupplies Division. “With Agilent Bond Elut EMR-Lipid sample preparation, labswill be able to achieve cleaner sample profiles with significantly improvedreliability.”

The removal of lipidsfrom samples enables laboratories to dramatically improve data quality,increase confidence in results, and reduce sample re-runs. This translates intohigher throughput and lower operating costs.

Stimson noted thatcleaner sample profiles also translate into cleaner instruments, which reducesthe need for sample-related instrument maintenance and further reducesoperating costs.
