Innovative instruments receive top honors from members of SelectScience

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that two of the company’s instruments have received Scientists’ Choice awards. The Agilent 8890 GC system won for Best New Separations Product, and the Agilent InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ system won for Best New Spectroscopy Product.
