A lab without performance metrics is a rudderless ship—it might feel like you’re heading in the right direction, but how can you be sure? The answer: data. More importantly, data that produces insights to help lab performance evolve.
Agilent CrossLab Connect offers the digital capabilities you need to capture and capitalize on that data. From real-time status dashboards and smart alerts to detailed utilization reports and service records, CrossLab Connect highlights the issues impacting performance today and provides the guidance necessary to address them.
AI-powered
What you need is a real-time view of your lab’s workflows, service agreements, inventories, and fleet composition and health—all in one place. This allows you to easily assess your efficiency, productivity, cost, and sustainability baselines, and identify areas for improvement.
The AI powering our platform collects and interprets sensor data, enabling you to answer the questions most critical to improving operations: how is instrument downtime impacting our productivity? Do I have the right equipment to do the work? What are my options if this instrument fails? Are there areas where staff need more training?

CrossLab Connect. How it works.
The foundation of CrossLab Connect is its ability to generate a complete and constantly evolving digital inventory of lab assets, which helps you monitor instrument health, improve uptime, and manage lab economics:
- View instrument use across the lab, quickly identifying bottlenecks to keep your workflows moving.
- Review your instrument service history to identify underperforming instruments and training opportunities for staff.
- Access, adjust, and build the services program you need to keep your fleet running smoothly.
- Receive immediate alerts when issues arise to quickly and easily schedule service.
CrossLab Connect at work
CrossLab Connect helped Agilent engineers in Newport, DE adopt a usage-based maintenance program for their instruments. With usage-based thresholds defined for their pumps and detectors, the site experienced a significant reduction in downtime—even with testing more than 1,000 HPLC columns per day.
