LC instruments receive ACT labels from My Green Lab
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that their
1220, 1260, and 1290 Infinity II LC product families have received
the My Green Lab accountability, consistency, and transparency
(ACT) certification. Recognition of these products by My Green Lab
highlights Agilent's commitment to pursuing sustainability
throughout the production and lifecycle of its analytical
equipment. Agilent will showcase these accredited products at the
2020 analytica virtual industry trade fair.
No longer a side topic in science and industry, sustainability
has become a key strategic element, especially as part of decisions
around the purchase of instruments for "labs of the future." With a
growing need – and pressure – to factor in environmental
responsibility, more and more labs are seeking ways to reduce their
environmental impact through the purchase of more sustainable
equipment. Additionally, the success of labs seeking to attract the
best personnel is seen as strongly linked to their ability to offer
an eco-conscious working environment.
A leader in life sciences, diagnostics, and applied chemical
markets, Agilent is amongst the first global analytical
instrumentation manufacturing companies to be externally audited
for the environmental impact of their gas and liquid
chromatographs. These newly certified Agilent products give
customers a clearer path for reducing the environmental impact of
their labs, while simultaneously improving laboratory working
conditions and demonstrating their own commitment to
sustainability.
“Innovation is at the forefront of Agilent’s core company
values,” said Darlene Solomon, senior vice president, and chief
technology officer for Agilent Technologies. “We remain focused on
innovation through differentiated laboratory solutions and
transformation of the customer experience, and sustainability is a
priority. Continuous improvement of our products and services, in
terms of the benefits they deliver as well as the environmental
impact associated with their production and operation is a key
driver of our efforts.”
As a nonprofit organization run "for scientists, by scientists,"
My Green Lab is dedicated to "fundamentally and permanently
improving the sustainability of scientific research." They strive
to unify scientists, vendors, designers, energy providers, and
others toward research that reflects the highest standards of
social and environmental responsibility.
Agilent’s Infinity II liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments
underwent the independent audit process and received their labels
in June while the gas chromatography instruments are currently
undergoing the certification process. Visit our booth at analytica
virtual to see the instruments with their labels, and to find out
more.
