Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) has announced the introduction of the 1260 Infinity Hybrid SFC/UHPLC system. It is
the first commercial instrument that performs both supercritical fluid
chromatography and ultra high-performance liquid chromatography.
This enables intelligent screening for
the most suitable method of separation and delivers comprehensive information
for complex samples and impurity analysis.
"Now, chromatographers can switch
between UHPLC and SFC on the same system without making a single hardware or
method change," said Stefan Schuette, Agilent senior marketing director,
Liquid Chromatography Business. "Users can have great confidence in the
results from using these two orthogonal techniques."
The 1260 Infinity Hybrid SFC/UHPLC
system delivers LC-like sensitivity over the UHPLC power range. It is the only
SFC system providing 600 bar capability. The hybrid system is economical
because customers purchase only one instrument to perform both types of
separations. It also conserves valuable bench space. In SFC mode, the
instrument uses standard-grade gaseous CO2 for considerable cost savings over
SFC-grade CO2. This is in addition to the reduced solvent consumption and waste
generation of SFC compared to LC.
Customers also have the option of
purchasing just the SFC module as an upgrade to existing 1100, 1200 and 1260 LC
systems.
The Agilent 1260 Infinity Hybrid
SFC/UHPLC system is compatible with Agilent 6100 Series single quadrupole LC/MS
systems.
