Agilent launches new version of ISET for liquid chromatography systems

Agilent Technologies has announced the launch of the third version of its Intelligent System Emulation Technology (ISET), for use with the 1290 Infinity Binary and 1290 Infinity Quaternary liquid chromatography (LC) systems.

This new application allows users to emulate the Waters Acquity UPLC and Acquity H-class systems and the Shimadzu Prominence HPLC system, facilitating a seamless transfer of methods between varying LC technologies.

Other LC instruments can be recreated with a simple mouse click and existing methods can be run without modifying the method or system, thus delivering similar retention times and peak resolution for enhanced method transfers.

This helps to make the 1290 Infinity LC the world's most adaptive LC system, addressing a major gap in the workflow of customers.

Christian Gotenfels, Agilent's senior product manager for liquid chromatography, said: "ISET enables highly regulated laboratory environments, such as pharmaceutical quality control, to globally transfer methods between different instruments."

The company will soon split into two standalone businesses, one focused on life sciences, diagnostics and applied markets, the other dealing with electronic measurement products.
