Agilent has launched two new products from its gas/liquid chromatography (GC/LC) mass spectrometry (MS) product lines at Future Lab Summit in Ahmedabad. These instruments exhibit an amalgamation of the latest technologies including artificial intelligence and machine learning with higher accuracy, and sensitivity. The innovative design of the equipment will help customers streamline lab analytics and enhance lab productivity with minimal downtime.

“The event showcased workshops with industry leaders and experts deliberating on holistic applications that can support end-to-end workflows in a regulated and compliant environment. These regulatory workshops were aimed at providing solutions that enable compliance with regulatory requirements,” said Dr Samir Vyas, Agilent India Country General Manager.

Leveraging the summit, Agilent connected with the fraternity to understand and address current market challenges for a safe and healthy future. The summit had participants from top pharmaceutical companies' quality assurance, control, research, and development divisions across Gujarat's regional pharma hubs.

The segment saw rounds of discussion on how Agilent is helping shape Analytical Method Lifecycle Management to ensure that methods developed in labs are future-ready. The scientific audience showed keen interest in Agilent's data integrity and informatics solutions using the Agilent compliance engine which helps in fulfilling audit procedures, thereby helping achieve the laboratory's productivity and regulatory goals. There was a round of detailed discussion on the glaring issue of genotoxic impurities (GTI) and azido impurities contamination in drugs used in the treatment of hypertension and diabetes, reviewing the current trends and future predictions, with Agilent's leading solutions.
