What you are buying
A refurbished Agilent 1260 G1329B autosampler. It draws a precise volume and injects it onto the column, with a standard analytical head and optional preparative heads for higher-volume injections.
Every unit moves through the GenTech Certified process. Solution Scientists disassemble and inspect each module, replace all consumables and degraded wear components, then tune and calibrate the instrument and verify performance against OEM and published benchmarks using known reference chemicals. The instrument ships with its verification report. A certified-refurbished system gives you that performance without the capital cost or the lead time of a new purchase.
What Agilent says about this platform
Agilent built the G1329B around a standard analytical head with an injection range of 0.1 to 100 microliters. Optional preparative heads extend injection volume to 900 microliters, one rated to 200 bar and the other to 400 bar; an SL configuration keeps the 100-microliter analytical head but raises the pressure limit to 600 bar. An X-Z-Theta transport mechanism positions the gripper arm for vial pickup, monitored by optical sensors and encoders to confirm correct operation. The metering device flushes after every injection to hold carryover down. The standard 1260 configuration includes a 100-vial thermostatted tray, a 40-vial tray, a 15-vial tray, and an electrically actuated 600-bar Rheodyne injection valve. The autosampler pairs with the 1290 Infinity Thermostat, the G1330B, for temperature-sensitive samples. It integrates with 1200 Infinity Series, 1200 Series, and 1100 Series LC systems, controlled through Agilent OpenLab software or another chromatography data system.
What this module does
Liquid Injection
Draws a precise volume from the vial or well plate and injects it onto the column, using an X-Z-Theta transport mechanism to position the gripper arm for each pickup.
Automated sequencing
Runs unattended sequences from a 100-vial tray, with 40-vial and 15-vial trays also available.

What “GenTech Certified” means
Refurbishment at GenTech is a defined process, not a wipe-down. Every system moves through the same five stages.
1. Disassembly and rebuild. Solution Scientists strip the instrument down, clean each module inside and out, and rebuild it from the frame up. They replace pump seals, pistons, and check valves to specification.
2. Configuration and new parts. Solution Scientists install the options and modules you selected and fit new wear parts throughout. They replace the detector lamp with a new one and reset the lamp hours.
3. Diagnostic and performance testing. Solution Scientists tune and calibrate the instrument, run system diagnostics, and confirm detector wavelength accuracy. They test full-system pressure and gradient performance against OEM and published benchmarks using known reference chemicals.
4. Data package you approve before shipment. The verification data goes to you for approval before the system leaves the bench. You see exactly how the instrument performs before it ships.
5. Delivery and installation. The instrument ships in protective packing with a one-year warranty option and professional installation available from a GenTech Solution Scientist.
Labs that run this system
The 1260 HPLC is method-compatible across the techniques most regulated and research labs run every day. These are the application areas buyers ask about most.
Assay, Impurity and dissolution
The 1260 transfers cleanly into USP monograph assays, related-substance profiling, and dissolution testing. Quaternary blending simplifies mobile-phase transfer between labs.
EPA HPLC methods
Diode array detection supports EPA HPLC methods for contaminants and residues in water and soil, including PAHs, explosives, and carbamates.
Additives and vitamins
The system quantifies preservatives, sweeteners, organic acids, and fat-soluble vitamins at the throughput a production-support lab needs.
Cannabinoid potency
HPLC with UV detection is the reference technique for potency. The 1260 resolves the major cannabinoids for compliance and label-claim testing.
Botanical actives
Labs quantify polyphenols, flavonoids, and marker compounds in extracts and nutraceutical formulations across long, reproducible sequences.
Screening and drug monitoring
The 1260 runs HPLC-UV workflows for therapeutic drug monitoring and drugs-of-abuse screening, where method portability and uptime matter more than peak novelty.
Purity and additives
Industrial labs separate and quantify synthesis intermediates, polymer additives, and stabilizers for QC and release testing.
Four-solvent scouting
Agilent recommends the quaternary pump for method development. Blend up to four solvents to scout selectivity before you lock a final method.
Proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics
Many omics workflows use mass spectrometry for detection and rely on LC for separation. The 1260 serves as the front end feeding your MS or fraction collector.
