Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced the Agilent 1290 Infinity Liquid Chromatography System, designed to deliver significantly greater power, speed, and sensitivity to the high-end Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) market.
The Agilent 1290 Infinity LC enables separations in seconds, and provides limits of detection for pharmaceutical impurities as low as 0.001% relative to the main compound using the diode array detector. This is more than one order of magnitude lower than required by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The system provides the industry’s largest analytical power range, enabling users to deploy any particle type, column dimensions, or mobile and stationary phases. This range provides the highest separation power per time for sub-two-micron and other advanced particle columns.
The new 1290 Infinity Autosampler and Thermostatted Column Compartment modules contain a number of usability and high-throughput features, including the ability to configure the system to run more than 2,000 samples per eight-hour shift. Alternating Column Regeneration (ACR) reduces cycle time by half compared to single column configuration, and throughput can be maximized further using automatic delay volume reduction, overlapped injections, offline data analysis and external needle wash capabilities.
