Agilent Technologies Introduces Industry's First Online Training for Gas Chromatography Instruments.Business Editors PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2004 Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today introduced the industry's first online training for gas chromatography gas chromatography (GC) Type of chromatography with a gas mixture as the mobile phase. In a packed column, the packing or solid support (held in a tube) serves as the stationary phase (vapour-phase chromatography, or VPC) or is coated with a liquid stationary phase , a technique highly used in petrochemical petrochemical, any one of a large group of chemicals derived from a component of petroleum or natural gas. The cracking processes for manufacturing gasoline produce vast quantities of gaseous hydrocarbons. , hydrocarbon hydrocarbon (hī'drōkär`bən), any organic compound composed solely of the elements hydrogen and carbon. The hydrocarbons differ both in the total number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their molecules and in the proportion of hydrogen , chemical and environmental industries, where productivity and uptime are critical. This is the first in a series of Web-based training modules that will provide convenient, low-cost and in-depth instruction in the use of Agilent's analytical instruments. "Online training significantly reduces training costs and time away from work while facilitating a higher level of training per employee," said May Van, newly appointed vice president and general manager of Agilent's consumables and services business for life science and chemical analysis. "As the world-leader in gas chromatography, we are proud to be the first and only company to offer this type of training to our customers. Through online training, lab managers can quickly build the skills of their instrument operators without the typical loss in productivity or the inconvenience of having to cover for absent staff that accompanies traditional training." The training modules focus on the maintenance and operation of specific instrument components, with interactive animations that dynamically demonstrate how components work. The modules cover information immediately applicable to the work environment, including instrument theory, operation, routine maintenance, common problems and solutions. As a laboratory adds new components to an Agilent system, these online training modules provide a means to quickly expand or refresh (1) To continuously charge a device that cannot hold its content. CRTs must be refreshed, because the phosphors hold their glow for only a few milliseconds. Dynamic RAM chips require refreshing to maintain their charged bit patterns.

Training modules are available in two forms: e-Learning on Demand and e-Learning Live. e-Learning on Demand modules are self-paced courses that laboratory professionals can take at any time. e-Learning Live modules offer 60- to 90-minute courses taught by a live instructor at scheduled times In rallying, the Scheduled Time of any crew is the time, calculated at the beginning of the event, that they should arrive at any given control. It is different from Due Time in that Due Time is dynamic, ie it can change throughout the event as competitors drop time; whereas . Users interact with the instructor by telephone or through an online chat feature. Training records, important to highly regulated industries, are retained automatically for completed modules. Additional Agilent and non-Agilent training courses can be added to a personal training profile to create a single, downloadable document of record. Laboratory professionals can view module descriptions, register and purchase modules at www.agilent.com/chem/elearning. A three-minute online demonstration shows how the learning environment works and the type of content included. About Agilent Technologies Agilent Technologies Inc.
