1260 Infinity Variable Wavelength Detector

Highest sensitivity for HPLC and RRLC 

The Agilent 1260 Infinity Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) is highly sensitive for HPLC and RRLC analyses. It uses time-programmable wavelength switching so you can optimize the detection sensitivity and selectivity for your specific applications. The latest electronics and refined optics have lowered detector noise levels to below 2.5 µAU. The lowest baseline drift (< 1 x 10-4 AU/h) means you can precisely quantify trace level compounds in samples.

  • High sensitivity with lowest baseline drift achieved by significant hardware improvements over the most successful predecessor Agilent 1200 Series VWD.

  • Electronic temperature control (ETC) - maximum baseline stability and practical sensitivity under fluctuating ambient temperature and humidity conditions.

  • Up to 100% resolution gain in fast LC by 80 Hz data acquisition rate.

  • Wide linear range - for reliable, simultaneous quantification of primary compounds, by-products and impurities.

  • Stop-flow wavelength scanning for quick wavelength optimization.

  • Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for flow cells and lamps - a new level of data traceability.

  • Automatic wavelength verification by built-in holmium oxide filter.

  • Extensive diagnostics, error detection and display with Instant Pilot controller and Agilent Lab Advisor software.

  • Early maintenance feedback (EMF) for continuous tracking of instrument usage in terms of lamp burn-time with user-settable limits and feedback messages.

  • Front access to lamps and flow cells enables fast and convenient maintenance for maximum uptime.
