Agilent Technologies Collaborates with Persistent Systems to Promote Multivendor Chromatography System Interoperability

02-Sep-2009 - USA

Agilent Technologies Inc.expanded its commitment to open systems for chromatography data systems (CDS) by announcing a collaboration with Persistent Systems and by joining the DriverCentral.net instrument driver portal.

Multivendor instrument connectivity is a core need in many laboratories because scientists often operate diverse instrumentation from multiple vendors in a single laboratory. For efficient lab operation and easy sharing of instruments and data, labs require a single data system to manage all their instruments and create reports in a common format.

Led by Persistent, DriverCentral.net is the industry’s first independent device-driver portal for analytical instrument driver purchase. Agilent is collaborating with Persistent Systems in three main ways:

- Transferring many of its non-Agilent instrument drivers to Persistent Systems for further development and support;

- Providing documentation on its RC.NET technology to convert legacy drivers to the new standard and develop new drivers based on RC.NET; and

- Joining DriverCentral.net to make its own analytical instrument drivers available through the portal.
