Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that the Agilent Resolve Handheld Raman Spectrometer has been recognized for excellence as a tool for emergency responders following independent use and evaluation by both the UK’s National CBRN Centre, and the US’ Department of Homeland Security.
In the United Kingdom, the Resolve instrument received the Certificate of Merit for 2023. The CBRN Certificate of Merit award recognizes the value of the Resolve instrument, and the added services and responsivity Agilent provides to its customers. The award was presented in recognition of Agilent’s ongoing service and support to the National CBRN Centre and multi-agency partners, strengthening the UK’s ability to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. The National CBRN Centre (NCBRNC) brings together the emergency services and wider partners to protect and prepare the UK against the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threat. This certificate is confirmation that all these services based in the UK recognize the benefits of the Agilent Resolve Handheld Raman Spectrometer.“Partnerships with existing and new suppliers across the broad spectrum that CBRN response require have meant that we are able to assure the UK response to a CBRN incident,” explained Inspector Scott Howard, National CBRN Centre, Counter Terrorism Policing. “This is why Agilent, as an equipment supplier to the NCBRNC, was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Head of Centre in recognition of the ongoing service and support provided to us and our multi-agency partners. This support has ultimately strengthened the UK response to counter-terrorism incidents involving CBRN material, and for that, we are truly grateful.”
