It is a premier, robust powerhouse for environmental facilities tracking regulated organic contaminants, as well as pharmaceutical operations requiring uncompromised reproducibility and data integrity for strict assay development, stability studies, and impurity profiling.

Agilent 1200 HPLC DAD Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The cost of ownership for the Agilent 1200 HPLC System with Diode Array Detector (DAD) and Binary Pump offers laboratories an attractive combination of proven analytical performance and long-term value. A comparable new system, such as the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Binary LC System, typically ranges from approximately $120,000 to $145,000, representing a substantial capital investment for laboratories requiring advanced liquid chromatography capabilities. In contrast, a certified refurbished Agilent 1200 HPLC System with DAD and Binary Pump is commonly available between $17,400 and $30,000, providing significant upfront savings while delivering reliable chromatographic performance for routine and research applications. Long-term operational expenses generally include HPLC columns, mobile phase solvents, pump seals, pistons, check valves, tubing, inlet filters, DAD lamp replacements, preventive maintenance, and periodic servicing to maintain optimal system performance and analytical accuracy. The modular design of the Agilent 1200 platform simplifies maintenance, facilitates future upgrades, and minimizes instrument downtime, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and improved laboratory productivity. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1200 HPLC system further enhances return on investment by providing professionally tested, performance-verified instrumentation at a fraction of the cost of a new platform, making it an ideal solution for pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety, chemical, and academic laboratories seeking dependable HPLC performance while optimizing capital expenditures.

EPA Method 549.2: Determination of Diquat and Paraquat in Drinking Water Using the Agilent 1200 Binary Pump HPLC with Diode Array (DAD) Detector and Binary Pump

The Agilent 1200 HPLC System with Diode Array Detector (DAD) and Binary Pump provides a reliable and high-performance platform for EPA Method 549.2: Determination of Diquat and Paraquat in Drinking Water, supporting the accurate analysis of these highly polar quaternary ammonium herbicides at trace concentrations. The system's precision binary pump delivers stable, low-pulsation solvent gradients, ensuring excellent retention time reproducibility and robust chromatographic resolution required for ion-pair reversed-phase separations. The integrated Photodiode Array Detector enhances analytical confidence by enabling target analyte quantitation at 308 nm for diquat and 257 nm for paraquat, alongside spectral verification and peak purity assessment to eliminate matrix interferences in complex drinking water samples. With low sample carryover, precise injection reproducibility, and full compatibility with the specific solid-phase extraction eluates dictated by the protocol, the Agilent 1200 HPLC-DAD system ensures dependable regulatory compliance and court-admissible results. Its modular architecture, robust fluidics, and automated ChemStation software control optimize laboratory productivity and instrument uptime, making it an ideal refurbished hardware solution for environmental, municipal, and contract testing laboratories performing routine drinking water monitoring.
