Agilent 1260 HPLC

The Agilent 1260 High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system is a sophisticated and versatile instrument used for analytical and preparative separation of compounds in various applications. As of my last update in September 2021, the Agilent 1260 series was one of the popular HPLC platforms used in laboratories worldwide.

Key features and components of the Agilent 1260 HPLC system include:

1. Pump: The system usually includes a binary pump capable of delivering precise and accurate flow rates for solvent delivery. It allows for both isocratic and gradient elution for different types of separations.
2. Autosampler: The autosampler allows for automated sample injection, enabling efficient and consistent handling of multiple samples.
3. Column Compartment: The column compartment maintains a stable temperature for the HPLC column, which is crucial for reproducible separations.
4. Detector: The system can come equipped with various types of detectors, such as UV-Vis (ultraviolet-visible) detectors, diode array detectors (DAD), fluorescence detectors, and refractive index detectors, depending on the analytical needs.
5. Data System: Agilent HPLC systems are usually controlled using proprietary software (e.g., Agilent OpenLab CDS) that enables instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis.
6. Compatibility: The Agilent 1260 series is often compatible with a wide range of columns and accessories, allowing for versatile applications in pharmaceutical, environmental, food and beverage, chemical, and other industries.
7. Reliability and Performance: Agilent is known for manufacturing high-quality and reliable instruments, and the 1260 series is no exception. These systems offer excellent performance in terms of sensitivity, resolution, and accuracy.
