Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC System w/ MWD
The Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC System w/ MWD provides a liquid chromatograph offering ultra fast and high resolution separation capability for consistently accurate results. The 1260 Infinity II LC System delivers several ease-of-use features, making it a standard system for routine analysis. With an operating pressure of up to 600 bar the 1260 Infinity II Quaternary Pump is compatible with HPLC and UHPLC, i.e. handling 2.1, 3, and 4.6 mm ID columns over the flow rate range (up to 5 mL/min) and semi preparative analysis due to flow up to 10 mL/min. The 1260 Infinity II Multisampler can handle both vials and microtiter plates with ease and efficiency, and is designed for low carryover, as you can take clean to a whole new level with the multi-wash capability, cleaning all relevant injection parts between runs. This integrated feature flushes the injection needle outside with three solvents, and uses seat back flush procedures to reduce carryover to less than 9 ppm.
The 1260 Infinity II Multiple Wavelength Detector (MWD) is designed for highest optical performance, GLP compliance, and easy maintenance. With its 120 Hz data acquisition rate, the detector is perfectly suited for fast LC applications. The long-life deuterium lamps allow for the highest intensity and lowest detection limits over a wavelength range of 190 – 950 nm. The use of RFID tags for all flow cells and UV-lamps provides traceable information about these assemblies. The built-in holmium oxide filter features fast wavelength accuracy verification, while the built-in temperature controls improve the baseline stability. Additional diagnostic signals for temperature and lamp voltage monitoring are available. The Agilent 1260 Infinity II Multicolumn Thermostat (MCT) allows precise column thermostatting over a broad temperature range: from cooling down to 10 degrees below ambient temperature up to 85°C, providing high flexibility for optimized speed and selectivity of LC separation. For bio-inert applications bio-inert heat exchangers and a selection of bio-inert valves are offered by Agilent.
The Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC System w/ MWD can be fully controlled from the Agilent OpenLab CDS Software, which allows for user-friendly operation in data acquisition, analysis, instrument control, automation, and more.
This Agilent system is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory

Below is a List of Diagnostic Tests Performed On This System
- Filter Test: The test moves the filter into the light path and measures the relative absorbance in the filter position.
- Dark Current Test: The test measures the dark current from the detector optic.
- Holmium Oxide Test: The test measures the Holmium spectrum from the built-in Holmium filter. The spectrum is evaluated for peaks at different wavelengths.
- Lamp Intensity Test: The test verifies functionality of the UV lamp at various wavelengths.
- Wavelength Intensity Test: The test confirms the accuracy of wavelengths measured.
- Baseline Noise Test: The test measures the amount of baseline noise drift identified by the detector.
- Pressure Test: The pressure test is a quick, built-in test designed to demonstrate the pressure tightness (up to 400 bar) of the system.
- Leak Test: The leak test is a built-in troubleshooting designed to demonstrate the leak-tightness of the pump.
- Thermostat Test: Evaluates the cooling and heating performance of the two Peltier elements.
- Injector Steps: Performs each movement of the sampling sequence under manual control. This is useful for confirming autosampler functionality.
- 4 Peak Test (Isocratic Standard): Standard test published by Agilent to confirm complete functionality of the Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC System w/ MWD.
