Harness Innovation. Minimize Disruption. Maximize Efficiency.

Význam tématu

Operators in analytical laboratories face constant pressure to adopt new instruments, maintain high throughput, and ensure data quality. Structured support from purchase through daily operation is critical to reduce downtime, safeguard investment, and enhance technical competence across the team.

Cíle a přehled studie / článku

This document outlines Agilent CrossLab Learning Services, detailing how its three offerings—Start Up Services, Education Services, and Method Consulting Services—help laboratories accelerate time to productivity, expand operator expertise, and optimize analytical workflows.

Použitá metodika a instrumentace

Agilent CrossLab applies a phased approach:

• Site preparation: assessment of power, gas, HVAC, and workspace requirements.
• Installation: box-to-bench setup of Agilent instruments and software, validation of hardware and calibration.
• System introduction: hands-on walkthrough of hardware, software features, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Education Services: Instructor-led classroom courses, in-lab training, virtual modules, and self-paced online courses, covering instrument operation, software use, maintenance, and advanced methods.
• Method Consulting Services: Transfer, development, optimization, implementation, maintenance, and compliance support for analytical methods using Agilent technologies.

Hlavní výsledky a diskuse

• Start Up Services prevent common installation delays by addressing site-readiness; over 40% of installations face initial challenges without expert assessment.
• Education Services combine theoretical lectures with practical exercises, enabling teams to build proficiency in new techniques and software, while virtual and self-paced formats accommodate diverse schedules.
• Method Consulting Services streamline method lifecycle tasks—development, transfer, optimization, and troubleshooting—reducing the time and resources needed to deploy reliable workflows.
