Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC with DAD for High-Confidence Compound Identification

If your laboratory needs to move beyond single-wavelength detection and gain deeper confidence in peak purity and compound identification, the Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with Diode Array Detector (DAD) offers an ideal analytical solution. Engineered to operate at pressures up to 600 bar, this platform seamlessly runs legacy 400-bar HPLC methods while supporting modern high-efficiency columns to shorten analytical run times and improve laboratory productivity. The integrated Diode Array Detector provides full-spectrum UV-Vis acquisition across its native wavelength range of 190–640 nm (G4212B DAD), while simultaneously monitoring up to eight signal wavelengths for comprehensive peak purity assessment, spectral confirmation, and efficient method development. When integrated with Agilent OpenLab CDS or Waters Empower™ 3 via the Agilent Instrument Control Framework (ICF), automated peak purity analysis helps identify co-eluting compounds and supports data integrity for regulated analytical workflows. Upfront, the Agilent 1260 Infinity Autosampler (G1329B) delivers precise, reproducible injections with carryover of less than 0.1%, or less than 0.05% when configured with the optional external needle wash, helping maintain quantitative accuracy for routine analytical applications. Supported by comprehensive GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance capabilities through the chromatography data system, this dependable HPLC platform serves as an indispensable workhorse for pharmaceutical QA/QC, environmental screening, food safety testing, and contract analytical laboratories.

Agilent 1260 Infinity Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

Certified refurbished Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC Systems with Diode Array Detector (DAD) typically range from $20,900 to $46,995, providing substantial savings compared with investing in a current-generation platform. For reference, new Agilent 1260 Infinity III HPLC Systems with DAD, the current successor product line rather than a direct like-for-like equivalent to the original 1260 Infinity system, generally range from $82,500 to $110,000, depending on detector configuration, autosampler options, software packages, and module selection. Beyond the initial acquisition cost, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses including HPLC-grade solvents, mobile phase additives, analytical columns, DAD lamp replacements, tubing, pump seals, autosampler consumables, calibration standards, software licensing, preventive maintenance, and instrument qualification to support USP, FDA, ISO, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership may also include periodic detector servicing, replacement electronic components, pump maintenance, and optional service contracts to maintain dependable chromatographic performance and regulatory compliance. Every certified refurbished system is professionally inspected, refurbished, calibrated, and performance tested before shipment to verify reliable operation. For pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety, chemical, and research laboratories, purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with DAD provides an economical alternative to a current-generation system while delivering reliable chromatographic separation, full-spectrum UV analysis, and proven long-term analytical performance.

EPA Method 8330B Using Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with DAD

The Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with Diode Array Detection (DAD) provides a highly reliable and efficient solution for laboratories performing EPA Method 8330B for the determination of nitroaromatics, nitramines, and nitrate esters by high-performance liquid chromatography. This configuration delivers precise gradient control, stable retention times, and excellent chromatographic resolution for complex explosive-related compounds commonly analyzed in soil, groundwater, wastewater, and environmental remediation samples. The integrated DAD enables simultaneous multi-wavelength monitoring and full spectral acquisition, supporting enhanced analyte confirmation, peak purity analysis, and improved identification of target compounds such as TNT, RDX, HMX, and related energetic materials. The Agilent 1260 Infinity platform also offers low carryover, dependable baseline stability, and reproducible solvent delivery, making it well-suited for high-throughput environmental laboratories requiring accurate quantitative and qualitative analysis. Combined with automated workflow capabilities, reliable long-term operation, and strong chromatographic reproducibility, the Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with DAD provides laboratories with excellent sensitivity, analytical confidence, and dependable performance for EPA Method 8330B applications.
