Agilent Announces Thought Leader Award Winners
Agilent Technologies has awarded Paul Bonnington and Kimbal Marriott an Agilent Thought Leader Award in support of their innovative research into data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and information visualization.
Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, California, USA) has awarded Paul Bonnington and Kimbal Marriott an Agilent Thought Leader Award in support of their innovative research into data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and information visualization.
Based at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, Bonnington and Marriott will receive funding and Agilent instrumentation to facilitate and accelerate their research. Drawing upon Monash University’s vast knowledge and experience, Bonnington and Marriott are developing new, innovative, and smarter analytical products that will increase laboratory efficiency, as well as support mechanisms that will significantly reduce customer downtime.
“There are exciting new discoveries awaiting us when we bring advanced scientific instrumentation together with the advanced data processing capabilities of the Faculty of IT and the eResearch Centre,” stated Paul Bonnington, Director eResearch Centre, Monash University.
“The recent great advances in artificial intelligence, data science, and human-computer interaction allow us to reimagine the scientific research laboratory. For the first time we can build a lab that puts the scientists first, not the scientific instruments,” stated Kim Marriott, Director Computer-Human Interaction and Creativity Group, Faculty of IT, Monash University.
The Agilent Thought Leader Programme promotes fundamental scientific advances by contributing financial support, products, and expertise to the research of influential thought leaders in the life sciences, diagnostics, and chemical analysis space.

GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
