Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | SUBSEQUENT EVENT New Segment Structure. In November 2024, we announced a change in our organizational structure to support our market-focused, customer-centric strategy. Our diagnostics and genomics segment combined with our liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry instrument platforms will form our new life sciences and diagnostics markets segment. Our chemistries and supplies, laboratory automation and robotics, and software and informatics divisions moved from our life sciences and applied markets segment to our Agilent CrossLab segment. The remaining divisions in our life sciences and applied markets segment which includes our gas chromatography, gas chromatography mass spectrometry, remarketed instruments, spectroscopy and vacuum divisions will form our new applied markets segment. Following this re-organization, we will have three businesses - life sciences and diagnostics markets, applied markets and Agilent CrossLab - each of which will comprise a reportable segment. All historical segment financial information will be recast to conform to this new reporting structure in our financial statements and accompanying notes, beginning with our Form 10-Q filing for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
