The Agilent 1290 Infinity Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) is a high-performance UV detector designed for ultra-fast and high-throughput HPLC applications. With a data rate of up to 160 Hz, built-in run recovery functionality, and a range of flow cell options, it delivers superior sensitivity, robust data integrity, and operational flexibility for demanding chromatographic workflows.
Key Features
- High-speed acquisition: Data rate up to 160 Hz for ultra-fast HPLC compatibility.
- Wide wavelength range: 190–600 nm with deuterium lamp and built-in holmium oxide filter for accuracy.
- Run Recovery (DRC): Built-in CompactFlash card provides “data-never-lost” assurance during communication disruptions.
- Smart flow cells: Multiple cartridge options (standard, high pressure, micro, semi-micro) with RFID tagging for traceability.
- Improved stability: Electronic temperature control (ETC) minimizes baseline drift in fluctuating environments.
- Tool-free maintenance: Quick-access front panel for lamp and cell replacement.
- GLP/GMP compliant: Early maintenance feedback, electronic logs, and secure identification of critical components.
