Instrument Driver Exchange Enhances
Laboratory Efficiency, Flexibility
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) and Scion Instruments today
announced a gas chromatography instrument control agreement. This
exchange agreement provides customers the freedom to operate
instruments from both manufacturers in each company’s
chromatography data systems.
The companies will exchange development documentation and
royalty-free licenses of driver software for the integration of
each other’s GC instruments into their respective chromatography
data systems. With the development of these drivers, GC systems
from either manufacturer will be integrated into Agilent’s OpenLAB
CDS EZChrom Edition and Scion’s CompassCDS chromatography data
systems.
With Agilent’s Instrument Control Framework and Rapid Control
driver technology, Scion’s 3000- and 400-series gas
chromatographs—including the latest SCION 436 and 456 models—can be
used with Agilent’s OpenLAB CDS software. Likewise, Scion’s
CompassCDS will support Agilent’s 6890 and 7890 Series gas
chromatographs.
“Agilent pursues an open-systems approach to laboratory
informatics, preserving our customers’ investment in
instrumentation, workflows, operating procedures, data and
knowledge,” said John Sadler, Agilent vice president and general
manager of software and informatics. “We are continuously expanding
OpenLAB CDS multivendor instrument control capabilities in
collaboration with other analytical instrument manufacturers and
are working to standardize analytical instrument control across
data systems, resulting in the best-working and best-tested
software for our mutual customers.”
“Scion is dedicated to providing the best solutions for
individual customer needs, including multi-vendor support in our
chromatography data systems,” said Dan Klopp, CEO of Scion
Instruments. “With this agreement, we continue a rich legacy of
customer focused improvements to our software and systems.”
