Company Overview

Agilent Technologies, a spin-off of Hewlett-Packard Co., offers products for the life sciences, diagnostics and applied chemical markets. Agilent’s full range of solutions includes instruments, software, services and consumables for the entire laboratory workflow. The company operates via three business segments: Life Sciences and Applied Markets, Diagnostics and Genomics, and Agilent CrossLab.

Under the Life Sciences and Applied Markets Business segments, Agilent offers products that enable clinical and life sciences researchers to interrogate samples at the molecular and cellular levels. The company’s cell analysis portfolio includes cell analysis plate-based assays, a flow cytometer, a real-time cell analyzer, a microplate reader, a cell imaging system and related consumables.

Under the Diagnostics and Genomics segment, Agilent offers pathology products, specific proteins and flow cytometry reagents, companion diagnostics, target enrichment, cytogenetic research solutions and microarrays, qPCR instrumentation and molecular biology reagents, nucleic acid solutions and automated electrophoresis, and microfluidics solutions. In the area of flow cytometry reagents, the company provides reagents and kits directly to clinical laboratories working in routine cancer diagnostics, with a particular focus on hematologic cancers.

In 2018, Agilent cquired ACEA Biosciences, a developer of cell analysis tools, for $250 million. With this acquisition, Agilent added NovoCyte and NovoCyte Quanteon flow cytometers, as well as xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA) technology, to its portfolio.
