Introduction

Introduction
The Agilent 1220 Infinity II Mobile LC Solution is an Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC with
integrated variable wavelength or diode array detector and a mobile upgrade kit that
enables transportation. The 1220 Infinity II LC Mobile Upgrade Kit consists of
functional parts that allows the Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC to be mounted into a mobile
lab so it can be moved to different locations to access remote measurement sites. The
main component is the attenuation unit which acts as a shock absorber to protect the
instrument during transit or from influences of operators moving in the mobile lab. A
solvent bottle unit keeps the bottles fixed to the instrument. A column wire mesh
keeps the column safe in the column heater and the ‘mobile solvent compartment’
secures the solvent bottles during operation of the instrument.

Application Examples
When samples of interest are locally remote from the lab, the lab has to come to the
samples. GC and GC/MS based mobile labs have been around for quite some time but
the need for mobile LCs has become a more burning issue recently. Mobile LC
applications range from analysis of non-volatile pesticides in environmental and food
applications, monitoring of drugs or testing of counterfeit drugs. It can also be used in
teaching, when a mobile lab goes to students residing in remote areas. The diode array
detector integrated in the Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC enables spectra analysis for
purity identification and comparison with self-created library data.

Bench Space
The attenuation unit has a footprint of 480 mm (18.9 in) in width and 445 mm (17.5 in)
in depth.
The overall room specified for operation (width x depth x height) of 560 mm (22.1 in)
x 665 mm (26.2 in) x 970 mm (38.2 in) already includes the space for a complete 1220
Infinity LC Instrument mounted onto the attenuation unit and considering the
necessary room for air circulation, electrical connections and safety area for the
possible movement of the instrument on the attenuation unit.
For a comfortable handling of the solvent bottles additionally 20 cm (7.9 in) should be
kept free above the bottles.
See Figure 2 on page 3 for more details.

Site Requirements and Specifications
Site Requirements
Bench Material and Strength
A proper bench must be chosen under the aspect that it must bear the combined
weight of the instrument with solvent bottles and the mobile kit.
The bench material must be suitable for a proper fastening solution.
Fastening Solution
Because of the expected varieties in bench material and strength the fastening
material is not included in the kit.
A suitable fastening solution (screws or bolts) must be chosen to secure the
attenuation unit to the bench of the mobile lab.
The attenuation unit comes with four 8.5mm (0.33 in) diameter holes prepared in the
lower plate and four 20 mm (0.79 in) diameter holes located directly above them in the
top plate. This allows the use of a 14 mm (9/16 in) nut for tightening the screws or
bolts.
See Figure 3 on page 5 for the layout information of the holes that must be prepared to
the bench.
NOTE
This solution must be strong enough to withstand the forces that will result from the possible
accelerations that can occur in a moving vehicle (app. 2000 N per screw, based on a calculation
with 1 G acceleration and the weight of a G4294B).
NOTE
The head of the chosen screws or bolts must not stand out more than 15 mm on top of the
attenuation unit’s bottom plate.

Cautions and Warnings
Unpacking the Module
Damage to the module
If the delivery packaging shows signs of external damage, please call your Agilent
Technologies sales and service office immediately. Inform your service representative
that the instrument may have been damaged during shipment.
WARNING
Personal injury or damage to the system
The system is bulky and heavy.
➔ Lift the instrument with at least two persons.
WARNING
Sharp metal edges
Sharp-edged parts of the equipment may cause injuries.
➔ To prevent personal injury, be careful when getting in contact with sharp metal areas.
CAUTION
Damage to the system
If the handle plate is not fixed precisely, the mobile system may tumble or slide off the bench.
➔ Use the handle plate only if it is fixed correctly to the instrument.
NOTE
Please note that the design of the 1220 Infinity II mobile solution is intended for protecting the
instrument from influences during transit. Analytical measurement however has to be conducted
under stationary conditions.
NOTE
Operating the 1220 Infinity II LC in a mobile lab environment can require special equipment or
facilities to comply with local safety regulations (e.g. special solvent waste and storage containers).
Please verify that these regulations are met before you operate the 1220 Infinity II LC in your mobile
lab.
CAUTION
"Defective on arrival" problems
If there are signs of damage, please do not attempt to install the module. Inspection by Agilent
is required to evaluate if the instrument is in good condition or damaged.
➔ Notify your Agilent sales and service office about the damage.
➔ An Agilent service representative will inspect the instrument at your site and initiate
appropriate actions.

Installing the Mobile Solvent Compartment
Installing the Mobile Solvent Compartment
1Take out the grey solvent bottle container of the instrument’s top cover and attach
the 4 leak tub brackets to it (two on each side). Look at the instrument’s top and
identify the referring spaces (where the arrows in the picture of step 2 on page 13
point to). This is the dedicated position for middle part of the clamps. This
information is necessary for a correct positioning of the clamps. It is hard to correct
their position once they are installed.
2Now take the leak tub and reinstall it to the top cover. Verify that the leak tub
brackets properly hook in underneath the top cover on the instrument’s side.

General Operation Instructions
Preparing transit and relocation
General Operation Instructions
Preparing transit and relocation
•Park the arm of the autosampler before relocation or transit.
•Remove the solvent bottles from the solvent cabinet and store them in a proper
safety storage.
•Verify that the retaining brackets on the attenuation unit are properly locked when
the instrument is on the attenuation unit (see “Securing the LC to the attenuation
unit” on page 17).
•Store the sample vials in a safe place during relocation and transit. The sample tray
is not a proper storage place.
General Operation
Use sealed solvent bottle caps and waste containers to prevent dangerous
vaporization. More information can be found in the chapter “Consumables” on page 20
