1260 Infinity Hybrid chromatography system
The 1260 Infinity Hybrid performs both supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Users can switch between SFC and UHPLC without making any hardware changes, which saves time and money. The system evaluates the process inputs to determine the most suitable method of separation, and delivers comprehensive information for complex samples and impurity analyses. In SFC mode, the instrument uses standard-grade CO2 instead of SFC-grade CO2, which reduces costs.

Instrument Control Framework
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.

DNA Analytics 4.0
DNA Analytics 4.0 visually explores, detects, and analyzes patterns in microarray data. This latest release allows users to analyze more than 100 samples per experiment and includes a free genomic browser and copy number variation (CNV) analysis capability. The software features chromatic immunoprecipitation-on-chip (ChIP-on-chip), array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), and gene expression analytics capabilities. Changes to analytical conditions are reflected in graphics updates in only seconds.

Agilent Analytical Studio Reviewer
Providing an intuitive user interface and a wide range of reporting options, the Agilent Analytical Studio Reviewer (AASR) makes it easy to review large amounts of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) data quickly. The browser lets users customize the display of key data elements, facilitating review of large sample sets. It further enhances lab efficiency by offering color-coding of samples, view-flexibility that highlights particular results, multiple-chromatogram views, and displays of UV-peak purity and MS-peak purity. Data display and reports can be generated in a variety of file formats, including PDF, the manufacturer’s AASR and Waters’ RPT. Users can override summary results to apply corrections, generating a new file with all changes tracked in a log file.

6890/7890 Series gas chromatograph (GC) and 5973/5975 Series gas-chromatograph/mass-spectrometer (GC/MS) systems
The Intelligent Services feature for remote instrument-monitoring and diagnostics is now part of the 6890/7890 Series gas chromatograph (GC) and 5973/5975 Series gas-chromatograph/mass-spectrometer (GC/MS) systems. The proven, secure IT technology links instruments to customer-support centers, where experts provide proactive technical support designed to address problems before they affect lab produc-tivity. A push-for-help feature enables single-button requests for assistance so that service engineers can remotely determine the status of the system before responding. A real-time collaboration feature allows engineers to open an ultra-secure remote desktop-sharing session. An asset report and notification function provides on-demand access to information and tools that lab managers can use to optimize instrument utilization and lab productivity. The Intelligent Services asset report provides a detailed inventory list and snapshot of real-time instrument usage and utilization, enabling managers to plan efficient laboratory operations. The notification feature helps laboratories reduce system downtime by proactively alerting users via SMS-text or e-mail when maintenance thresholds are reached or when the instrument requires user interaction.
