Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) acquired Sigsense Technologies, a San Francisco, California-based startup that uses artificial intelligence and power monitoring to help optimize lab operations.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Sigsense technology is already available to Agilent customers through CrossLab Connect, a suite of digital applications—inventory management, service management, asset monitoring, smart alerts, and asset lifecycle analytics—that improve lab performance.

CrossLab Connect monitors a wide range of instruments, including chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, liquid handlers and plate readers, flow cytometry, centrifuges, NMR, sequencers, PCR, and more.
With this transaction, Sigsense employees, IP, and assets are now part of the Agilent CrossLab Group.
