Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC System with Diode Array Detector (DAD) and Binary Pump

Insights by AMPTIUS | AMP Tech Instruments

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography for Advanced Analytical Laboratories

If your laboratory is struggling with broad peak resolution or slow gradient response times during complex compound screening, the Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC system equipped with a Diode Array Detector (DAD) and Binary Pump delivers the precise, high-pressure performance your assays demand. Driven by a robust binary pump operating at pressures up to 600 bar (8,700 psi), this system minimizes internal dwell volume to generate rapid, low-pulsation solvent gradients that shorten run times and maximize peak resolution. The advanced Diode Array Detector offers full-spectrum UV-Vis acquisition spanning 190 to 950 nm, allowing you to capture complete absorbance spectra simultaneously and verify peak purity in a single analytical run. It is an industry-standard, rugged powerhouse perfectly optimized for pharmaceutical impurity profiling, environmental pesticide mapping, and any analytical laboratory requiring strict regulatory compliance and rapid method development.

Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC DAD System Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

Certified refurbished systems typically range from approximately $35,000 to $46,000, offering substantial savings compared to a comparable new Agilent 1260 Infinity III HPLC system with DAD and Binary Pump, which commonly ranges from approximately $120,000 to $145,000 depending on configuration, software, and automation options. Beyond the initial acquisition cost, laboratories should account for ongoing operational expenses, including HPLC columns, solvents, mobile phase preparation, pump seals, check valves, autosampler consumables, DAD lamp replacement, calibration standards, software support, preventive maintenance, and compliance-related qualification services. Long-term ownership costs remain manageable due to the proven reliability of the 1260 Infinity II platform, widespread availability of replacement parts, and straightforward serviceability. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC with DAD and Binary Pump allows laboratories to significantly reduce capital expenditures while benefiting from precise gradient performance, full-spectrum UV-Vis detection, peak purity analysis capabilities, robust chromatographic reproducibility, and dependable analytical performance for applications including pharmaceutical quality control, environmental monitoring, food analysis, pesticide testing, and routine regulatory compliance workflows.

EPA Method 8330A: Nitroaromatics and Nitramines Using the Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC with DAD and Binary Pump

The Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC System with a Diode Array Detector (DAD) and Binary Pump provides a highly effective platform for EPA Method 8330A, which is used for the determination of nitroaromatic and nitramine explosive compounds in environmental samples. The Binary Pump delivers precise gradient formation and highly reproducible solvent mixing, enabling efficient chromatographic separation of target analytes such as TNT, RDX, HMX, DNT isomers, tetryl, and other energetic materials commonly encountered in soil, groundwater, surface water, sediment, and remediation site samples. The DAD offers simultaneous multi-wavelength monitoring and full UV-Vis spectral acquisition, allowing accurate quantitation while providing spectral confirmation and peak purity assessment to enhance confidence in analyte identification. Environmental laboratories benefit from excellent retention time stability, robust quantitative performance, high reproducibility, and efficient sample throughput that support regulatory compliance, site characterization, and remediation monitoring projects. The advanced chromatographic capabilities of the 1260 Infinity II platform help ensure reliable analysis of complex environmental matrices while maintaining consistent method performance. Combined with precise gradient control, comprehensive spectral analysis, and proven Agilent reliability, the Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC with DAD and Binary Pump provides a powerful solution for EPA Method 8330A explosives analysis and environmental contaminant monitoring applications.
