Analyzer Assesses Green Products
The Green Product Analyzer provides data that are useful for assessing the sustainability footprint of chemical products, as well as for the selection of safer and more environmentally friendly products. The system has access to chemical profiles and substance data, which can be used to compare products by a variety of parameters, including toxicity, environmental impact, application, and cost. Users may set criteria to calculate ratings and to group products into categories, which can then be used to make direct and meaningful comparisons. It facilitates the tracking and managing of chemical inventories, helping to ensure that the materials being used conform to corporate initiatives related to the purchase, storage, transportation, handling, recycling and disposal of safer, greener products.

Driver Bundle Opens Liquid Chromatography Systems to Third-Party Developers
Instrument Control Framework is a software component that makes it easier for third-party software to control the manufacturer’s liquid chromatography systems in chromatographic data systems and workstations. It contains Agilent 1200 Series LC RC.NET instrument drivers, which eliminate the need for software developers to write their own drivers using low-level instrument control codes. Instead, developers may write their own adaptor to connect their software with the Instrument Control Framework to gain full control of instruments in this series.
