Facility will enable transformational research on the
composition and structure of chemical samples
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and the University of
Vermont (UVM) today announced the establishment of the Agilent
Laboratory for Chemical Analysis (ALCA). The facility will be a hub
for advanced instrumentation that will allow students,
institutional colleagues, industrial partners, and regional
high-tech start-ups to study the composition and structure of
chemical samples. It is intended as a shared educational and
research space that will play a central role in the education and
training of undergraduate and graduate students at UVM, while also
serving as a valuable technology resource to local and regional
businesses.
“Agilent is extremely pleased to support UVM in the development
of this innovative research facility,” said Mike McMullen, Agilent
president and CEO. “It’s another example of Agilent’s commitment to
advancing scientific understanding and at the same time supporting
UVM and the local community.”
"This new state-of-the-art instrumentation laboratory will
fulfill a primary need in academia, where we have an obligation to
ensure the next generation of scientists have the technical skills
required to meet modern challenges," said Dr. Giuseppe Petrucci,
professor of Chemistry at the University of Vermont. "Beyond that,
the fact that this lab will also be available to faculty members
for research projects, as well as to start-up companies in the
area, offers tremendous opportunities to advance scientific
discovery and validation."
“This is an exciting venture," said Darlene Solomon, senior vice
president and chief technology officer for Agilent. "The ALCA
facility will address all aspects of the analytical process,
including problem identification, method development, instrument
training, data analysis and sharing, and planning for future
scientific advances."
The fast pace of technological advancement can be challenging
for universities and other educational and research facilities to
stay current with the latest technology and training. The suite of
Agilent instrumentation housed in the ALCA facility – backed by
Agilent application expertise – will advance long-term technical
and scientific goals in the state of Vermont and support economic
and technological sustainability throughout the region.
The University of Vermont is hopeful the ALCA facility will
establish an "incubator" environment where users can develop and
share ideas and tackle challenging analytical problems in a dynamic
and scientifically driven environment. The laboratory will also
serve as a regional hub for Agilent representatives to showcase and
demonstrate instrumentation functions and capabilities.
