Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with DAD Applications in Pharma, Food, and Environmental Labs

The Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with Diode Array Detection (DAD) is widely used for high-performance chromatographic analysis in pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety, chemical, biotechnology, academic, and industrial laboratories. Common laboratory applications include pharmaceutical assay testing, impurity profiling, dissolution studies, stability-indicating methods, and raw material verification in workflows aligned with USP <621>, ICH guidelines, and cGMP quality control requirements. Environmental laboratories commonly utilize the system for pesticide analysis, organic contaminant monitoring, carbonyl compound analysis following EPA Method 8315A, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) testing aligned with EPA Method 8310. In food safety laboratories, the system supports additive analysis, preservative testing, mycotoxin screening, beverage quality analysis, and nutritional compound quantitation following AOAC analytical frameworks. Biotechnology and research laboratories frequently apply the system for peptide analysis, biomolecule characterization, metabolite profiling, and reaction monitoring. The DAD enables simultaneous multi-wavelength monitoring and full spectral acquisition for enhanced compound identification, peak purity analysis, and analytical confirmation, while the Agilent 1260 Infinity platform delivers reliable gradient performance, low carryover, stable retention times, and dependable chromatographic reproducibility for routine and high-throughput analytical workflows.

Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with DAD: Refurbished System Benefits and Pricing

New Agilent 1260 Infinity III HPLC systems with DAD typically range from approximately $82,500 to $110,000, depending on detector configuration, autosampler options, software packages, and module selection, while certified refurbished systems generally range from $20,900 to $46,995, providing substantial savings on initial capital investment. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as HPLC solvents, mobile phase additives, analytical columns, DAD lamp replacements, tubing, seals, pump maintenance, autosampler consumables, calibration standards, software licensing, preventive maintenance, and compliance-related qualification support for USP, FDA, ISO, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may also include detector servicing, replacement electronic components, pump seal maintenance, and optional service contracts to maintain dependable chromatographic reproducibility and high-throughput analytical performance. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC System with DAD allows laboratories to significantly reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from reliable chromatographic separation, full-spectrum UV analysis, dependable long-term operation, and proven analytical performance for regulated and research-based laboratory applications.
