Board approves using state contract with Agilent for laboratory instruments and supplies
Summary
The board approved reliance on Kansas state contract 55502 with Agilent Technologies for instruments and consumables through Dec. 30, 2028, to preserve validated methods and reduce the need for revalidation in the Regional Forensic Science Center.
County staff recommended using Kansas state contract 55502 with Agilent Technologies (good through 12/30/2028) for instruments, columns and consumables needed across the Regional Forensic Science Center's toxicology and drug‑ID laboratories.
Presenters said maintaining manufacturer‑compatible components preserves method validation and reduces the operational impact of changing components, which could require revalidation before resuming test methods. The board moved and approved the recommendation to utilize the state contract.
Officials also noted the laboratory recently acquired additional mass spectrometry equipment that will require compatible consumables under the state contract.
