The Agilent 1290 Infinity UHPLC is a new liquid chromatograph that can be used for environmental applications. The two important innovations of this instrument are 1.8-µm columns and fast gradient. These two innovations can improve the analysis efficiency and reliability.
This document presents examples of using the Agilent 1290 Infinity UHPLC system for environmental applications, specifically focusing on wastewater analysis of pharmaceuticals and complex mixtures of pesticides. It highlights how UHPLC technology, utilizing 1.8-m columns and high-pressure pumps, improves efficiency and reliability compared to traditional methods.
The maximum pressure was 900 bar for the analysis shown in Figures 4 and 5.
The flow rate used for the analysis in Figures 4 and 5 was 1.5 mL/min.
