SFSU receives cutting-edge Agilent technology for new Science and Engineering Innovation Center
The gift provides world-class instrumentation to foster the next generation of STEM innovators
SAN FRANCISCO – January 21, 2025 – San Francisco State University (SFSU) has announced that Agilent Technologies, a global leader in analytical and clinical laboratory technologies, has donated $1.7 million worth of analytical instrumentation for its new Science and Engineering Innovation Center (SEIC).
“Agilent’s generosity is not only an investment in our students and their success but also the greater workforce. By providing state-of-the-art equipment, students now have access to the next generation of tools for scientific discovery in the fields of chemistry, materials science, biochemistry and the life sciences.” said SFSU Dean of the College of Science & Engineering Carmen Domingo. “Agilent’s new equipment allows students to greatly expand and sharpen their skills ensuring that they are well-prepared to enter the workforce or pursue higher degrees with confidence. We are grateful for Agilent’s support in this endeavor.”
The donation will equip SEIC chemistry and biochemistry labs with Agilent technologies, enabling students to learn with world-class instrumentation and excel in our global society. In recognition of the donation, SEIC suite 201 has been named the ‘Agilent Technologies Teaching Laboratory.’ The suite is equipped with the highest number of Agilent instruments in the SEIC and is primarily used for upper-division chemistry and biochemistry courses.
The new equipment is already making a tremendous impact on students like Marcello Garbo, a senior majoring in Chemistry. Garbo says before the donation, there was a limited amount of equipment that had to be shared among students and faculty. The equipment was also spread across different rooms. With more equipment that is placed in a centralized area, it speeds up the process for various tasks.
