Agilent 1100 HPLC with VWD: Reliable UV Detection for Routine and Advanced Liquid Chromatography

If your laboratory is struggling with broad peak resolution or slow gradient response times during routine screening, the Agilent 1100 HPLC system equipped with a Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) and Binary Pump delivers the precise, low-delay performance your assays demand. Driven by a robust Agilent 1100 Binary Pump operating at pressures up to 400 bar, this system minimizes internal dwell volume to generate rapid, low-pulsation solvent gradients at flow rates up to 5 mL/min. The accompanying Variable Wavelength Detector provides highly sensitive, programmable UV monitoring from 190 to 600 nm, ensuring exceptional baseline stability and highly repeatable quantitative accuracy for your target compounds. It is an industry-standard, cost-effective workhorse perfectly optimized for pharmaceutical stability studies, high-throughput dissolution testing, environmental pesticide mapping, and any analytical laboratory requiring rugged, day-in-day-out chromatographic performance.

Agilent 1100 HPLC Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The Agilent 1100 HPLC System with a Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) and Binary Pump provides a dependable and economical liquid chromatography solution for environmental, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, and research laboratories. Certified refurbished systems typically range from approximately $11,500 to $13,800, offering significant savings compared to comparable new systems, such as an Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC with an InfinityLab VWD and InfinityLab Binary Pump, which commonly range from approximately $38,500 to $46,200 depending on configuration and software options. In addition to the initial acquisition cost, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses, including HPLC columns, solvents, mobile phase preparation, pump seals, check valves, autosampler maintenance, deuterium lamp replacement, calibration standards, software support, preventive maintenance, and compliance-related qualification services. Long-term ownership costs remain manageable due to the proven durability of the Agilent 1100 platform, readily available replacement parts, and straightforward maintenance requirements. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1100 HPLC System with VWD and Binary Pump allows laboratories to substantially reduce capital expenditures while benefiting from reliable UV-Vis detection, precise gradient performance, robust chromatographic reproducibility, and proven analytical reliability for pharmaceutical testing, environmental monitoring, food analysis, chemical quality control, and routine laboratory workflows.
