These transitions often involve substantial costs and extended timelines, encompassing rigorous re-qualification processes, potential re-engineering of existing systems, and the inherent risk of production disruptions.  For instance, if a critical diagnostic instrument relies on a proprietary reagent or a highly specialized sensor from a single supplier, Agilent would face considerable expense and delay in finding, testing, and integrating an alternative.
