Agilent Measurement Suite will have a tremendous impact on our capacity
to perform globally significant science across a range of challenges in
human and animal health, the development of new molecules and materials,
and in enhancing their understanding of our environment,” stated
Professor Tony Cass, Professor of Chemical Biology, Department of
Chemistry and Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College
London and Fellow of both the Royal Society of Chemistry and Society of
Biology.
“Exciting as the access to advanced instrumentation is, also exciting is
the opportunity to work closely with Agilent’s engineers and
applications specialists in a collaboration that will both advance the
science and define the requirements for the next generation of
instrumentation,” continued Professor Cass. “As director of the AMS, I’m
looking forward with keen anticipation to working with colleagues across
the college to do exciting and important science enabled by the Agilent
instrumentation.”
