Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that it will showcase some of its most recent technological advances at the 8^th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Food Analysis (RAFA), being held November 7-10, 2017 in Prague.

Agilent is a major sponsor of RAFA which is held every two years. A premier scientific event addressing food analysis applications RAFA draws food scientists from academia and industry, as well as government regulators from around the world.

Agilent will be showcasing its most recent innovations, including the Agilent 7250 Q-TOF GC/MS system and the Agilent Ultivo Triple Quadrupole LC/MS system at booth no. 13.

• The Agilent 7250 Q-TOF GC/MS system combines gas chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with a low energy electron ionization (EI) source that enables greater exploration of unknown chemical samples.
