1220 Infinity LC System II

The Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC System is an affordable, high quality UHPLC system for routine standard analyses that maximizes uptime, minimizes maintenance and provides the highest return on your investment.

As a member of the 1200 Infinity II Series it gives you the proven quality and performance you expect from the industry leader, in your choice of four easy to own, integrated, "all-in-one" configurations.

The new 1220 Infinity II LC with integrated diode-array detector can also be used for mobile applications.

 

  • Winner of the Scientists’ Choice Award as Best New Separations Product of 2010.

  • Optimized for everyday productivity - exceptional accuracy and superior precision for all routine applications.

  • Fully compliant with all requirements for regulatory LC applications.

  • Industry leading quality and long-life - a member of the reliable and trusted 1200 Infinity Series.

  • Fast, trouble-free startup - every system is tested in its final configuration.

  • Flexibility - hardware choices and all-in-one configurations include an isocratic or gradient pump, manual injector or vial autosampler, column oven and variable wavelength detector.

  • Future proof - upgrade your system with additional hardware modules such as a 1200 Infinity Series refractive index, fluorescence or evaporative light scattering detector, or a 6000 Series Single Quadrupole MS.

  • Higher resolution and faster run times - our optimized pump delivers up to 600 bars so you can use smaller particle size columns.

  • High pressure capabilities - get up to 600 bars from our integrated autosampler and manual injector.

  • Lower detection limits using a variable wavelength detector up to 80 Hz.

  • Maintain stable temperatures with the optional column oven.

  • High performance software - chose either OpenLAB EZChrom Edition or the fully flexible, multi-purpose OpenLAB Chemstation Edition.
