Agilent G1321A FLD: Cost-Effective Fluorescence Detection Upgrade for Agilent 1100 HPLC

If your laboratory needs to detect analytes at ultra-low concentrations, down to the picogram or femtogram level, that conventional UV-Vis or Diode Array Detectors (DAD) may not reliably detect, the Agilent 1100 Series G1321A Fluorescence Detector (FLD) is an ideal solution. It is also an excellent choice for laboratories expanding into fluorescence-based applications without the expense of purchasing an entirely new HPLC system. As a standalone module, the G1321A integrates seamlessly with an existing Agilent 1100 Series stack, providing a cost-effective upgrade that significantly enhances analytical capability. Engineered for highly sensitive qualitative and quantitative analysis of both naturally fluorescent and derivatized compounds, the G1321A FLD combines advanced optical performance with exceptional reliability. Its long-lasting xenon flash lamp delivers outstanding photometric stability while minimizing maintenance requirements. The detector offers programmable excitation wavelengths from 200–700 nm and emission wavelengths from 280–900 nm, allowing precise optimization for a wide range of analytes and methods. A low-noise optical design and high signal-to-noise ratio provide excellent detection limits and superior selectivity, helping reduce interference from complex sample matrices. In addition, rapid wavelength switching and automated multi-wavelength programming enable greater method flexibility, improved reproducibility, and more efficient workflows. By integrating the Agilent G1321A FLD into your existing HPLC system, your laboratory can achieve enhanced trace-level detection, improved quantitative accuracy, greater method robustness, and increased analytical throughput, all with a practical, cost-effective upgrade.

Agilent 1321A Fluorescence Detector (FLD) Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The total cost of ownership for the Agilent 1100 HPLC G1321A Fluorescence Detector (FLD) includes the initial acquisition cost as well as ongoing expenses for lamp replacement, flow cell maintenance, wavelength calibration, preventive servicing, and routine performance qualification. A certified refurbished Agilent 1100 G1321A FLD typically ranges from $4,000 to $7,500, offering substantial savings compared to a new Agilent 1260 Infinity II Fluorescence Detector (G7121A/B), which generally costs between $32,000 and $39,000. For laboratories requiring highly sensitive fluorescence detection without the significant capital investment of a new instrument, a professionally refurbished G1321A provides exceptional value by delivering reliable trace-level detection, excellent analytical sensitivity, and dependable long-term performance. When purchased from a reputable supplier with comprehensive testing, certification, and warranty coverage, a refurbished Agilent 1100 Fluorescence Detector offers a cost-effective solution that extends the life of existing HPLC systems while supporting routine quality control, pharmaceutical analysis, environmental testing, food safety, and regulated analytical workflows.

Agilent 1100 G1321A Fluorescence Detector: High-Sensitivity Trace Analysis for Regulated Workflows

The Agilent 1100 G1321A Fluorescence Detector (FLD) is a high-sensitivity optical module engineered for the precise qualitative and quantitative analysis of naturally fluorescent and derivatized compounds across pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety, biotech, and academic research laboratories. Equipped with a long-life xenon flash lamp and a programmable excitation and emission wavelength range of 200 to 650 nm, this module delivers exceptional selectivity and ultra-low detection limits for trace-level target compounds. It supports advanced multi-signal capabilities, allowing up to four simultaneous wavelength combinations to be tracked in a single run, making it an indispensable workhorse under ChemStation or OpenLab CDS control for demanding compendial methods such as USP impurity profiling, EPA 8310 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) tracking, and aflatoxin screening in food products. By pairing robust Agilent 1100 system compatibility with advanced optical precision, the G1321A FLD provides an efficient, cost-effective solution for high-throughput QA/QC environments and specialized method development labs requiring reproducible, ultra-trace chromatographic detection.
