At every stage—disease research, drug discovery/development, quality control, manufacturing—you need the right answers to make the best business decisions for your lab. Speed to decision is critical in any business. All pharmaceuticals must undergo rigorous testing to ensure that they are safe and effective, and products derived from biotechnology require even more sophisticated analytical procedures. Agilent can help meet your needs with high throughput automated systems for compound identification in early discovery and with sophisticated, highly sensitive analytical systems that can provide quick answers to routine questions—for both expert users and trained technicians.
