Agilent Files Suit Against HPLC Column Maker

AMT was founded by Rockland Technologies personnel, including Dr. Jack Kirkland, after Agilent acquired Rockland (see IBO 1/31/97). Supelco’s Ascentis Express columns are also based on AMT’s Fused-Core particle technology for fast LC.

Santa Clara, CA 1/31/08—Agilent Technologies announced that it has filed suit against Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint contends that three former Agilent employees, now with AMT, breached their confidentiality agreement with Agilent, misappropriated trade secrets and breached fiduciary duties in developing AMT’s Halo HPLC columns.
