You may be able to relate to some of the daily stresses in a lab manager's life shown in this video.
Budget cuts
Staff shortages
Competition
Unplanned instrument downtime
Result reporting deadlines
The new Agilent Advanced Dilution System, and the automation it brings to ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses, can help reduce the pressures felt by lab managers.
This two minute video shows how all the Agilent automation components work seamlessly together to improve data quality- with less sample handling and contamination, increase sample throughput - with no reruns and data reported the same day, and less labware to buy and clean.
Manual dilution vs an autodilutor
In this entertaining video, Dr Alex Taylor takes on the new Agilent ICP Automation system in a challenge to prepare 100 ICP-OES samples with 50x dilution and a 5-point calibration from a single stock standard.
The release of the Agilent Advanced Dilution System (ADS) means you can get all the components you need for an automated ICP analysis workflow from Agilent. All-Agilent means you only have one call to make, one field service engineer, and one trusted company to work with.
