Collaboration Will Focus on Persistent and Emerging
Contaminants
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that it will
collaborate with the Nanyang Technological University Singapore’s
(NTU Singapore’s) Nanyang Environment Water Research Institute
(NEWRI) to develop novel approaches to testing and monitoring the
region’s water supply.
Under a memorandum of understanding, the two organizations have
agreed to address persistent and emerging contaminants in
water.
“We are pleased that, with this agreement, our shared vision and
combined resources will be brought to bear on such a critical
challenge,” said Nino Totino, Agilent vice president and general
manager of Laboratory Solution Sales in the region. “We look
forward to collaborating with NEWRI and Professor Shane Snyder,
whose groundbreaking and influential research in water analysis is
globally recognized, in addition to his receipt of an Agilent
Thought Leader Award.”
“NTU Singapore, one of the world’s top research-intensive
universities, has a strong and established track record of working
closely with industry to develop science and applications that have
real-world impact,” said Shane Snyder, NEWRI executive director and
professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering. “NEWRI, one of
the world’s leading environmental research institutes, together
with Agilent’s vast analytical expertise and technology, will be
able to expand the breadth and depth of our research mission while
co-developing novel environmental analysis solutions for Singapore
and the world.”
Getting access to clean water is an ongoing challenge in
Southeast Asia, impacting public health and industry. To augment
water supplies, water reuse schemes are being developed in the
region, and effective monitoring practices are needed to ensure
public safety.
While the research will be conducted in Singapore, Agilent and
NEWRI expect their collaboration to have far-reaching benefits, not
only in Southeast Asia but around the world, in regard to water
quality monitoring and availability.
