Functions of The Agilent 1200 HPLC System with Diode Array Detector

• The Agilent 1200 HPLC System assures the most efficient pulse-free solvent delivery and mixing for fast and accurate results.
• The system has an optimized design that uses a quaternary that allows variable stroke volumes for stable solvent flow.
• It allows low-pressure mixing and a considerable solvent choice flexibility because it entails a high-speed proportioning valve and pre-configured degasser.
• The vacuum degasser reduces the operating costs without using helium and ensuring optimum instrument performance.
• It consists of an electronically activated inlet valve running synchronous to the pistons to eliminate vapor formation in a volatile solvent. This makes Agilent 1200 remarkably maintenance-free and easy to use.
• During your analytical quantification, the Agilent 1200 Diode Array Detector verifies separation quality with peak purity, spectral libraries, and multiple signals providing an extended wavelength range with the highest sensitivity.
• The VWD and diode array detector are essential in allowing for automated wavelength verification for performance tracking.
• The Agilent 1200 has a temperature management system that ensures optimum baseline stability- even under rough ambient conditions.
• This detector uses combined deuterium and tungsten lamps, which feature superb illumination for the highest intensity and lowest detection limit from 190-950nm, 1024diodes, and 1-nm slit the highest spectral resolution.
• With the programmable slit, you can explore the spectral landscape for faster sample characterization, ensuring higher sensitivity and lower baseline noise as necessary on the 1200 slit.

Control Module Features of Agilent 1200series

The control module offers complete monitoring and local control of a single module or the whole Agilent 1200 series. The following are some steps to follow;

• Start by installing the configuration of the Agilent 1200 series module that you desire. 
• Enter the parameter settings for every module, performing a factory reset and on/off functions.
• After that, you need to define the automated analyses.
• Set method protection to protect your method from accidental keyboard changes.
• To store and transfer methods and sequences between Agilent 1200 systems, use PC cards.
• Use self-updating log books to monitor all operations and error events.

Site Requirements of the Agilent 1200

• Environment;

Your Agilent 1200 functions accurately at ambient temperatures and relative humidity. Therefore, do not store, ship, or use your module under temperature fluctuations, as this can cause condensation within the module.

It’s also critical that you leave your module in its box if it was shipped in cold weather and allow it to warm slowly to room temperature, thereby avoiding condensation.

• Bench Space

If you want to install your complete Agilent 1200 series on a bench, ensure that the bench is designed to carry all the modules’ weight

This Agilent system is an outstanding condition and will thoroughly be tested, performing at factory specification before shipping.
