NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) — Agilent Technologies said late yesterday that fiscal first-quarter revenues increased 10 percent as R&D spending increased 1.8 percent and profit declined after a divestiture during the same period last year caused the company to report a large gain.

 

Total receipts for the three months ended Jan. 31 increased to $1.25 billion from $1.17 billion year over year.
