Insights by AMPTIUS | AMP Tech Instruments

Ultra-High Performance Chromatography for Advanced Analytical Laboratories

The Agilent 1290 Infinity HPLC System with Diode Array Detector (DAD) is an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) platform engineered for the precise qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex chemical compounds across advanced testing environments. Designed for ultra-fast, high-resolution separations, the system features a high-pressure binary pump operating up to an incredible 1,200 bar (120 MPa), low-delay-volume fluidics, and advanced thermostatted column management. Paired with a high-sensitivity DAD spanning a dedicated 190 to 640 nm wavelength range, this platform utilizes optofluidic Max-Light waveguides to deliver exceptional peak capacity, baseline stability, and real-time spectral confirmation. Its unmatched pressure envelope allows high-throughput laboratories to deploy sub-2-micron particle column technologies, effectively maximizing peak resolution while drastically decreasing solvent consumption and sample runtime. This versatile, premium configuration serves as a vital analytical workhorse in pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories for complex impurity profiling, high-throughput stability testing, automated dissolution studies, and detailed biomolecule or peptide mapping. Additionally, it provides the extreme sensitivity and retention time reproducibility required by environmental, food safety, chemical manufacturing, and academic research institutions managing emerging organic contaminant tracking, trace pesticide residue screenings, natural product isolation, and advanced chromatographic method developments.

Agilent 1290 Infinity Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

New systems typically range from approximately $80,000 to $130,000, depending on module configuration, autosampler options, software packages, and detector capabilities, while certified refurbished systems generally range from $25,000 to $48,000, offering substantial capital savings without compromising analytical performance. In addition to the initial acquisition cost, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as HPLC solvents, mobile phase additives, analytical columns, lamps, tubing, seals, pump maintenance, autosampler consumables, calibration standards, preventive maintenance, software licensing, and compliance-related qualification support for USP, FDA, ISO, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may also include detector maintenance, pump servicing, replacement electronic components, and optional service contracts to maintain reliable chromatographic reproducibility and high-throughput performance. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1290 Infinity HPLC System with DAD allows laboratories to significantly reduce upfront investment while still achieving dependable UHPLC performance, excellent chromatographic resolution, and reliable long-term operation for demanding analytical applications.

EPA Method 8315A: Carbonyl Analysis Using the Agilent Infinity 1290 HPLC with DAD

The Agilent 1290 Infinity HPLC System with Diode Array Detection (DAD) provides a highly efficient and reliable platform for laboratories performing EPA Method 8315A (SW-846) for the determination of carbonyl compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography. This UHPLC configuration delivers fast and precise chromatographic separation of aldehydes and ketones commonly analyzed as DNPH derivatives in environmental air, water, and industrial samples. The integrated DAD enables simultaneous multi-wavelength monitoring and full spectral acquisition, supporting enhanced analyte confirmation, peak purity analysis, and improved identification of complex carbonyl compound mixtures. The Agilent 1290 Infinity platform also offers ultra-high-pressure solvent delivery, low carryover, excellent gradient reproducibility, and stable baseline performance, making it well-suited for high-throughput environmental laboratories requiring consistent quantitative accuracy and dependable retention time stability. Combined with automated workflow capabilities, reliable chromatographic reproducibility, and advanced analytical flexibility, the Agilent 1290 Infinity HPLC System with DAD provides laboratories with excellent sensitivity, analytical confidence, and long-term operational reliability for EPA Method 8315A applications.
