Agilent Technologies Inc. announced its biggest sale to date of analytical instrumentation in India.
The sale includes more than 50 instruments, mainly Rapid Resolution Liquid Chromatography (RRLC) systems, plus gas chromatography systems and headspace samplers to Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd., one of the top 15 companies in the Indian pharmaceutical industry.
In addition to being Agilent's biggest sale in India, this is also Orchid's largest order from any chromatography manufacturer.
"We were interested in the RRLC system when Agilent introduced it to us," said Dr. P.Y. Naidu, Orchid vice president, QC and R&D, "and subsequent demonstrations at our site proved its worthiness. Instrument
reliability is a factor in this decision, along with our trust in Agilent based on our long association with district manager Mr. Gopala Krishnan. He properly understood our requirements at each and every point, and this helped guide our decision."
