Dual-Detection High-Performance Liquid Chromatography for Advanced Analytical Laboratories

If your laboratory is looking to expand analytical selectivity and maximize detection sensitivity during complex liquid chromatography applications, the Agilent 1100 HPLC System equipped with a Quaternary Pump, Diode Array Detector (DAD), and Fluorescence Detector (FLD) delivers the ultimate intelligent, automated solution. Featuring a robust quaternary pump operating up to 400 bar with four-solvent gradient blending, the high-performance system works alongside complementary DAD and FLD technologies to guarantee flawless chromatographic resolution and ultra-sensitive detection of naturally fluorescent or derivatized analytes. The integrated dual-detector operation further streamlines your workflow by enabling simultaneous UV and fluorescence data acquisition within a single analytical run, completely removing method flexibility and sample processing restrictions prior to data reporting. It is a premier, robust powerhouse for food and beverage facilities tracking vitamins and aflatoxins, as well as pharmaceutical operations requiring uncompromised reproducibility and data integrity for strict impurity profiling and stability studies.

Agilent HPLC 1100 Series with DAD, FLD, and Quaternary Pump Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The cost of ownership for the Agilent 1100 HPLC System with Quaternary Pump, Diode Array Detector (DAD), and Fluorescence Detector (FLD) provides laboratories with an economical solution for high-performance liquid chromatography while maintaining the analytical capabilities required for demanding applications. A comparable new system, such as the Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC System with Quaternary Pump, DAD, and FLD, typically ranges from approximately $115,000 to $140,000, representing a substantial capital investment for laboratories seeking advanced liquid chromatography performance. In comparison, a certified refurbished Agilent 1100 HPLC System is commonly available between $19,000 and $28,500, offering significant upfront savings without compromising reliability or analytical quality. Long-term operational expenses generally include HPLC columns, mobile phase solvents, pump seals, pistons, check valves, inlet filters, tubing, DAD lamp replacements, FLD maintenance components, preventive maintenance, and periodic servicing to ensure consistent chromatographic performance and instrument uptime. The Agilent 1100's proven modular design simplifies maintenance, enables straightforward component replacement and future system upgrades, and helps reduce lifecycle costs through dependable operation. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1100 HPLC System with Quaternary Pump, DAD, and FLD further enhances return on investment by providing professionally tested, performance-verified instrumentation at a fraction of the cost of a new Agilent 1260 Infinity II system, making it an ideal choice for pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety, biotechnology, and academic laboratories seeking reliable HPLC performance while optimizing capital expenditures.

EPA Method 8310: Determination of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using the Agilent 1100 HPLC System with Quaternary Pump, DAD, and FLD

The Agilent Technologies HPLC 1100 Series with DAD, FLD, and Quaternary Pump provides an exceptionally robust platform for EPA Method 8310: Determination of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), delivering the precise sensitivity, selectivity, and chromatographic performance required for trace-level environmental analysis. The system’s quaternary pump enables precise low-pressure gradient solvent blending, ensuring sharp separation of complex 16-PAH mixtures across a variety of environmental matrices, including groundwater, wastewater, soils, sediments, and hazardous waste extracts. Because acenaphthylene is non-fluorescent and cannot be tracked by fluorescence alone, this configuration utilizes the Diode Array Detector set to 254 nm for its mandatory primary quantification, while seamlessly routing the remaining target PAHs through the high-sensitivity Fluorescence Detector for ultra-low trace-level measurement. With outstanding retention time reproducibility, low sample carryover, and a temperature-controlled column compartment to stabilize elution profiles, the Agilent 1100 platform supports strict regulatory compliance and court-admissible analytical results for routine environmental monitoring. Its modular architecture, automation compatibility, and proven mechanical reliability make this specific Quaternary DAD/FLD configuration an ideal hardware solution for environmental, industrial, and contract laboratories performing specialized compliance testing
