The award recognises performance and service to the profession of analytical lab management, and consists of a medal, $3000 honorarium and travel allowance.
Agilent's Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis (LSCA) group sponsors the award.
In 1980, Lyttle co-founded an organisation of university lab managers who met regularly to share experiences and discuss the practical problems of lab operation.
This group soon attracted the interest of industry and government lab managers, eventually establishing itself as Alma.
Alma claims to be the largest lab management organisation in the world, with more than 300 members across four continents.
Lyttle served as president of Alma in 1982 and 1992.
"For more than three decades, Dr Lyttle has been a strong advocate for the development and sharing of skills and practices within the lab management community," said Stuart Cram, worldwide business development manager for Agilent LSCA.
"We believe that good management is essential to maximising laboratory productivity, the production of high quality data, and the scientific capabilities of lab workers".
