New Features of the Agilent 1290 Infinity LC System
The Agilent 1290 Infinity LC System is designed to offer the greatest flexibility
for performing analytical liquid chromatography using all types of current and
emergent column technologies. The 1290 Infinity LC has the widest range of
operating parameters so that it can replicate method settings transferred in
from any pre-existing analytical HPLC or UHPLC system available from any
vendor. The Agilent 1290 Infinity LC System offers some radical new design
concepts to achieve this objective and yet clearly shows the pedigree of
well-engineered reliability that has made Agilent HPLC systems the most
successful HPLC line available.
This system offers:
•
Flow rates from 0.05 ml/min to 5 ml/min for conventional or fast
chromatography with all analytical column diameters from 1 to 5 mm
internal diameter and all types of column packing material.
•
Pressure range up to 1200 bar (>17400 psi) allows for fast chromatography
on short columns, high resolution on long columns using sub-two micron
packing material and a wider choice of mobile phase viscosity.
•
Ultra-low delay volumes for the fastest gradients with mass spectrometric
detection or ultraviolet/visible light detection.
•
Ability to operate any method transferred from another analytical HPLC or
UHPLC system.
•
Sophisticated pump control to deliver very low chromatographic noise and
very low acoustic noise for better results and better working environment.
•
Degasser and automatic purge valve integrated into pump module.
•
Variable volume autosampler with reduced delay volume, reduced
carryover and the option to operate as a fixed loop autosampler.
•
New Flexible Cube module to add functionality to the autosampler such as
back-flushing the needle seat and fixed loop operation.
•
Thermostatted Column Compartment with enhanced usability and
integrated valve solutions with a pressure range up to 1200 bar (17400 psi).
•
Diode-array detector with greatly enhanced sensitivity and baseline
stability using cartridge cell system with optofluidic waveguides.
