Agilent Technologies, Inc. manufactures a wide variety of laboratory equipment, and it develops and distributes laboratory informatics software, with a strong focus on the life sciences and effective measurement solutions.
History
Agilent Technologies was formed as an offshoot of Hewlett-Packard. On March 2, 1999, the company announced it would split of its test and measurement division — which had revenues of $7.6 billion in 1998 — into a new company "so that the company will be 'more agile in the marketplace.'"[2] By the end of July the company had selected the name Agilent Technologies, and in August it filed for initial public offering (IPO).[3][4] The IPO was made on November 18, 1999, and it raised $2.1 billion, making it one of the largest IPOs in Silicon Valley.[5]
On September 19, 2013, Agilent Technologies announced another split in the company structure, with Agilent keeping its life sciences, diagnostics, and applied markets sectors while splitting off the electronic measurement sector into a new company; that company name was announced as Keysight Technologies in January 2014.[6][7] The separation became official on November 1, 2014.[8]
Product history
In June 2007, Agilent Technologies bought Kalabie ELN from the Klee Group.[9][10] Kalabie was eventually integrated into the OpenLAB suite, and with the release of version 4.1 in August 2010, the name of Kalabie was changed to "OpenLAB ELN."[11][12][13]
Agilent introduced OpenLAB CDS, a conglomeration of its EZChrom Elite and Chemstation software, in November 2010. This inevitably led to the discontinuation of its Galaxie chromatography software on December 31, 2011.[14]
In June 2016, Agilent announced it had agreed to purchase iLab Solutions, LLC[15], completing the acquisition August 1.[16] The iLab software became part of the Agilent portfolio as iLab Operations Software.[17]
Technology and products
iLab Operations Software
iLab Operations Software is laboratory information management system-like (LIMS) software package for core facilities that can act as "a management solution for many types of shared resource facilities."[17] At its base is a core facility management module, with the ability to connect to many add-ons.[17]
OpenLAB CDS, ECM, and ELN
OpenLAB CDS is a chromatography data management system (CDMS) that "combines chromatography and mass spectrometry into one single data system along with limited control of other vendors’ instruments, eliminating the need for expertise with multiple software products."[18] It's based on its former products ChemStation and EZChrom Elite.
OpenLAB ECM (Enterprise Content Manager) is a scientific data management system (SDMS) that "allows the user to create, manage, collaborate, archive, and re‐use all of his or her business critical information with ease."[19] ECM integrates with OpenLAB ELN.
OpenLAB ELN is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that acts as a "central hub for organizing & sharing information between lab members."[20]
