Agilent Technologies launches new pharmaceutical compliance service

Agilent Technologies has announced the launch of the latest version of its compliance software suite for the pharmaceutical industry.

The upgraded Automated Compliance Engine for Agilent Enterprise Edition offers more reliable, secure and cost-efficient analytical instrument qualification services for laboratories than previous versions.

Providing compliance services that are harmonised across techniques for analytical instruments and computer systems from a wide variety of vendors, it has been optimised for ease of use and the ability to run compliance tests on multiple instruments simultaneously.

Agilent has been voted as the top choice for general lab compliance services and instrument qualification by EU and US respondents to an independent survey for five successive years.

Gary Powers, Agilent's compliance programme manager, said: "Whether for product research, development, testing, manufacturing or quality control, Enterprise Edition offers complete compliance services for the pharmaceutical lab."

This week, the company also published its first-quarter financial results for 2012, reporting an eight percent annual sales increase.
