Agilent 1100 HPLC with RID: Versatile Analysis of Non-UV-Absorbing Compounds

If your laboratory is struggling to accurately detect sugars, polymers, or complex carbohydrates that lack UV chromophores, the Agilent 1100 HPLC system equipped with a Refractive Index Detector (RID) provides the ultimate dependable, non-UV-absorbing analysis solution. Driven by a robust Agilent 1100 Quaternary Pump, this system delivers automated multi-solvent blending for up to four mobile phases, streamlining your method development while maintaining low-pulsation flow rates up to 10 mL/min. The high-sensitivity refractive index detector features internal temperature control over both its optics and flow cell to guarantee exceptionally stable baselines and eliminate thermal drift during long sequences. It is an industry-standard, cost-effective workhorse for food and beverage labs running routine sugar and sweetener assays, biotechnology facilities tracking fermentation byproducts, and polymer operations demanding absolute retention time reproducibility.

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

The Agilent 1100 HPLC System with a Refractive Index Detector (RID) and Quaternary Pump provides a reliable and economical liquid chromatography platform for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and industrial laboratories. Certified refurbished systems typically range from approximately $13,700 to $16,500, offering significant savings compared to comparable new systems, such as an Agilent 1260 Infinity II GPC/SEC or isocratic configuration with RID, which commonly range from approximately $39,995 to $48,000 or more, depending on detector, software, and module configuration. In addition to the initial acquisition cost, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses, including HPLC columns, solvents, mobile phase preparation, pump seals, check valves, lamp replacements for auxiliary detectors, routine maintenance, software support, calibration services, and compliance-related qualification activities. Long-term ownership costs remain relatively manageable due to the proven durability of the Agilent 1100 platform, widespread availability of replacement parts, and straightforward maintenance requirements. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 1100 HPLC System with RID and Quaternary Pump allows laboratories to substantially reduce capital expenditures while benefiting from reliable quantitative analysis, flexible solvent blending, dependable chromatographic performance, and proven analytical capabilities for carbohydrate analysis, polymer characterization, fermentation monitoring, excipient testing, and a wide range of routine quality control applications.

EPA RFS Program: Biofuel and Renewable Energy Infrastructure Workflows Using the Agilent HPLC 1100 Series RI Detector and Quaternary Pump

The Agilent 1100 HPLC System with a Refractive Index Detector (RID) and Quaternary Pump provides a reliable analytical platform for laboratories supporting biofuel production, renewable energy research, and quality control workflows associated with the EPA Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. The RID is particularly well-suited for the quantification of non-UV absorbing compounds commonly encountered in biofuel and fermentation processes, including sugars, alcohols, glycerol, organic acids, and other biomass-derived intermediates. The Quaternary Pump offers flexible solvent blending capabilities that support method development and optimization across a wide range of feedstocks and process streams. Laboratories involved in ethanol production, renewable chemical development, biomass conversion, and fermentation monitoring benefit from accurate quantitative analysis, reproducible chromatographic performance, and reliable long-term operation. The system supports process optimization, feedstock characterization, product quality verification, and research initiatives aimed at improving renewable fuel yields and production efficiency. Combined with proven Agilent reliability, cost-effective operation, and robust analytical performance, the Agilent 1100 HPLC System with RID and Quaternary Pump remains a valuable tool for biofuel and renewable energy infrastructure laboratories seeking dependable liquid chromatography solutions.
