For capillary LC and LC/MS applications
The Agilent 1200 Series capillary LC pump offers better control and flexibility of low flow rates. The pump is ideally suited for capillary LC and LC/MS applications, like bio-pharmaceutical research, where sample volumes are limited and higher sensitivity is essential. Application focus: Capillary LC is frequently used for the analysis of drugs and its metabolites to gain sensitivity, especially when sample volume is limited. Important for low flow rate ranges is a robust and reliable instrument. It provides a stable flow rate throughout the analysis – capillary LC as easy as standard LC.
Features
- Reliable and reproducible results - using Electronic Flow Control (EFC) that provides real-time adjustment of the flow rate throughout the analysis; offers accurate flow rates even with solvent mixtures.
- Highest flexibility - In capillary mode optimized flow rates from 1 µL/min up to 100 µL/min (in normal mode up to 2.5 mL/min with additional hardware changes).
- Maximum performance - Retention time (RT) stability independent from column back pressure.
- Even more flexibility on solvent selection by using the built-in solvent selection valve that combines two out of four solvents for binary gradient formation, or select a different solvent for flushing the column.
- Low delay volume through the use of micro volume components.
- Low detector baseline noise and long-term stability using the included micro vacuum degasser.
