This webinar will open with a brief introduction to Agilent Technologies — who we are and our mission within the vacuum and leak detection markets. We will then explore the importance of leak testing, how to select the right leak detector, and how to choose the most suitable leak detection method for your specific product or process. Finally, we will highlight advanced industrial applications and their role in today's emerging markets.
Overview
Agilent is primarily recognized as a leader in the life sciences, diagnostics, and applied chemical markets—especially in the field of analytical instrumentation. However, we also have a strong presence as a key supplier in the vacuum and leak detection markets. Beyond our broad vacuum product portfolio, we understand the critical importance of achieving and maintaining a reliable vacuum for any given product or process. We also bring the expertise to locate, measure, and eliminate leaks that are essential to preserving vacuum and sealed conditions.
Leak rate integrity is vital in today’s industries, which face increasingly stringent guidelines and specifications. This webinar will introduce Agilent’s portfolio of leak detection solutions and help you select the right detector for your application. In addition, it will provide future and current leak detector operators with an overview of the different leak detection methodologies and techniques used across a wide range of manufacturing operations and applications. Finally, we will highlight some of the latest advanced industrial applications shaping today’s emerging markets.
