This document introduces the performance characteristics of the Agilent 1200 Infinity Series Variable Wavelength Detectors, including faster results, improved sensitivity and absolute data security. The series detectors have two versions: Agilent 1260 Infinity VWD (G1314F) and Agilent 1290 Infinity VWD (G1314E), the latter with high sampling rates for ultra-fast HPLC and UHPLC. These detectors offer the following features and benefits: Higher sampling rates up to 160 Hz for ultra-fast HPLC (Agilent 1290 Infinity VWD) or up to 80 Hz (Agilent 1260 Infinity VWD); Data Recovery Card (DRC) provides for unique 'data-never-lost insurance' (Agilent 1290 Infinity VWD); Deuterium lamp for highest intensity and lowest detection limit over a wavelength range of 190 to 600 nm; Optional flow-cell cartridges such as standard (10 mm path length/14 µL volume), high pressure (10 mm/14 µL), micro (3 mm/2 µL) and semi-micro (6 mm/5 µL) are available and can be deployed according to application needs; Easy front access to flow cell and lamp for fast replacement; Flow cell and lamp with RFID tag for safe identification; Lamp information, including part number, serial number, production date, number of ignitions, total burn time; Cell information, including part number, serial number, production date, nominal path length, volume, maximum pressure; Built-in electr.
This document provides a technical overview of the Agilent 1200 Infinity Series Variable Wavelength Detectors (VWD), specifically the Agilent 1260 Infinity VWD (G1314F) and the Agilent 1290 Infinity VWD (G1314E). These detectors are designed for highest optical performance, compliance with GLP regulations, and easy maintenance, offering higher sampling rates up to 160 Hz for ultra-fast HPLC and UHPLC applications.
