Product Description
The 1260 Infinity II Preparative Binary Pump is an affordable high-pressure
gradient pump for LC purification. This pump has been designed and tested for
reverse-phase solvents and engineered for continuous use to provide reliable and
rugged performance through a dual-piston, rapid-refill design. It delivers flow
from 1 to 50 mL/min and is ideally suited for a broad range of semi-preparative
applications using conventional columns up to 30 mm id.
