Best adquisition of the lab for routine analysis
Environmental analysis
We needed a reliable system to carry out experiments for many different matrixes, such as, air, organic synthesis, food, residues... We are using Agilent 1260 II for 3 months now, we did not get any problem with the system yet, after being used on a daily basis and the DAD is capable to detect really low concentrations!

Overall the 1260 Infinity II LC system is a very robust system. It provides very reproducible results. The system is easy to learn has a nice interface that is easy to learn and use. One recommendation I have for Agilent would be to have a smart system that can flush itself with solvent if an error occurs instead of letting the mobile phase which may have water sit in the system (e.g. missing vial). The after-sales care is good, they are easy to reach by phone and almost always are able to solve problems over the phone. Overall I am very satisfied with this instrument.

The 1260 Infinity II LC System is a robust HPLC that offers the widest choice of modules for analytical HPLC and entry-level UHPLC, delivering the performance, reliability, and robustness you need for highest confidence in your daily results.
Building on the history of the 1100 and 1200 series analytical HPLC, the 1260 Infinity II LC delivers robust HPLC results while delivering several ease-of-use features, making it the standard system for routine analysis. Mix and match new modules with existing instrumentation to maximize uptime and minimize disruption.
Features:
- Compatible with conventional and ultrahigh performance LC: 1260 Infinity II Quaternary Pump and 1260 Infinity Binary Pump operate up to 600 bar, a perfect match for our InfinityLab Poroshell 120 columns
- Analytical and semipreparative purifications: wide flow range of the 1260 Infinity II Quaternary Pump (up to 10 mL/min) perfectly supports standard and semipreparative applications
- Fast and precise gradients: 1260 Infinity II Binary Pump is the perfect choice for fast and precise gradients using LC/MS, as well as UV-only systems
- Ultralow carryover: multiwash capability of the 1260 Infinity II Multisampler cleans all relevant injection parts between runs, flushing the injection needle outside with three solvents using seat backflush procedures to reduce carryover to less than 10 ppm
- Reduced cycle times: with the unique Agilent dual-needle design, run samples alternately through one or the other injection path. Can reduce cycle times to mere seconds, virtually eliminating conventional wait times - whether for large volume loadings or flushing procedures
- Efficient sample handling and logistics: using shallow well-plate drawers, 1260 Infinity II Multisampler takes a maximum load of 16 microtiter plates and up to 6,144 samples - the most of any single system
- Efficient column handling and temperature control: 1260 Infinity II Multicolumn Thermostat holds up to four columns with direct access to each column through a Quick-Change switching valve, delivering flexibility and eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect columns
- Higher quality data: 1260 Infinity II Diode Array Detector HS delivers lower detection limits and higher data quality for more confidence
- Efficient control, acquisition, and reporting: Agilent instrument control framework (ICF) enables smooth control of Agilent LC instrumentation through third-party chromatography data systems
