Members of Agilent's PRP program are carefully selected based on several criteria, including years of experience, market presence and demonstrated technical and logistical skills.

Agilent supplies its partners with priority delivery of the latest Agilent instruments, and provides refurbishing and calibration services. The PRP program enables Agilent's customers to quickly obtain, at a competitive price, the equipment they need. About Agilent Technologies Agilent Technologies Inc.
