SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 9 2012 – Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced an update to its Automated Compliance Engine software for Agilent Enterprise Edition compliance services<http://www.chem.agilent.com/en-us/products/services/compliance/enterpriseedition/complianceafo/pages/compliance_afo_home.aspx>. The update enables delivery of even more reliable, secure and cost-efficient analytical instrument qualification services for both dissolution and ultraviolet-visible instrumentation.

It also enables running compliance tests on multiple instruments simultaneously, further reducing downtime.

“We continue to invest and innovate within our Enterprise Edition services to ensure the compliance community has the broadest and most compliant services available,” said Gary Powers, Agilent compliance program manager. “The addition of dissolution and UV-Vis instrumentation now provides our customers even more options.”

With support for dissolution and UV-vis platforms, Agilent compliance services are available for over 500 instrument modules and data systems.

Last year, an independent survey of 350 respondents in North America<http://www.agilent.com/about/newsroom/presrel/2011/02mar-ca11016.html> and Europe ranked Agilent as the No. 1 choice for general lab compliance services and instrument qualification—for the fifth consecutive time since 1995.
