Agilent Technologies is a global manufacturer of analytical, research, and diagnostic instruments, software, services, and consumables. Spun out of Hewlett-Packard in 1999 - though its corporate heritage traces to 1939 - the company employs around 18,000 people and supports researchers and customers in 110 countries.
The company's products serve laboratories, clinics, and applied testing operations across several industries, including pharmaceutical research, patient diagnostics, food and water safety, and environmental monitoring. Its portfolio spans the full range of laboratory needs: precision instruments, accompanying analytical software, consumables for assays and instrument operation, and ongoing service and support.
Agilent operates across three principal markets: life sciences, diagnostics, and applied markets. Within these, its technologies are used by scientists conducting fundamental research, clinical laboratory professionals running patient diagnostics, and businesses performing regulated safety and quality testing. The breadth of its offering - from hardware to data analysis tools - is designed to cover the laboratory workflow end to end.
