1 Introduction
Product Description
Product Description
The new Agilent 1260 Infinity II Flexible Pump improves your everyday
efficiency by combining the performance of a high-pressure mixing UHPLC
pump with the flexibility of a low-pressure mixing UHPLC pump.
The power range of 5 mL/min with a maximum pressure up to 800 bar allows
to run HPLC and UHPLC methods on the same LC system. Intelligent System
Emulation Technology enables the transfer from existing methods from
different LC systems - current Agilent systems as well as instruments from
other manufacturers.
The Agilent Inlet Weaver mixer, active damping, or the optional Agilent Jet
Weaver mixers for additional mixing capacity achieve high analytical
efficiency.
The established multipurpose valve enhances laboratory efficiency by adding
useful functionalities, for example, mixer in/out switch, filter backflush, or
automatic purge.
BlendAssist software simplifies your workflow with accurate buffer/additive
blending.
