The Agilent 1290 Infinity LC is designed to provide highest speed, resolution and ultra-sensitivity. A new power range allows you to deploy any particle type, any column dimensions, or any mobile and stationary phases. Innovative technology components offer the next level of performance for UHPLC, RRLC and HPLC applications. The 1290 Infinity LC is the first system that provides the foundation for method transfer to or from any Agilent or non-Agilent UHPLC or HPLC system. In short, it gives you infinite capabilities to solve all your analytical challenges in LC and LC/MS.

Infinite power range that combines ultra high pressure up to 1200 bar and high flow rates up to 5 mL/min for maximum chromatographic performance, compatibility, flexibility and investment protection.
New 1290 Infinity Binary Pump combines active damping with lowest delay volume down to <10 µL – facilitated by multi-layer technology in the new Agilent Jet Weaver mixer – for highest retention time precision and superior UV-detection sensitivity.
New optical design in 1290 Infinity Diode Array Detector – including Agilent Max-Light cartridge flow cell – offers a new level of UV-sensitivity and baseline robustness, including fast spectral acquisition at data rates up to 160 Hz.
Ultra sensitivity is achieved through revolutionary Agilent Max-Light cartridge cell with 60 mm optical path length (typically noise: < ± 0.5 µAU/cm) providing more than 10 times higher sensitivity than the 1200 Series DAD and VWD.
Next generation flow-through design of the 1290 Infinity Autosampler achieves lowest carry over (<0.004%) and highest precision for both large and small injection volumes without changing sample loops.
New 1290 Infinity Flexible Cube combined with the 1290 Infinity Autosampler to facilitate automatic backflushing of needle seat for a new benchmark in lowest carry over (typically <0.0010%, <10 ppm). Plus, support of generic valve applications with up to two QuickChange valves (feature will be supported in late 2010).
New CTC LC Sampler HTC-xt/HTS-xt is designed specifically to meet the throughput and reliability demands of critical LC/MS applications, offering lowest carryover with dynamic load and wash (DLW) principle.
New pull-out valve drive and user-exchangeable valve heads in the 1290 Infinity Thermostatted Column Compartment boosts usability and paves the way for ultra high-throughput, multi-method and automated method development solutions.
