What you are buying
An Agilent 1220 Infinity II G4290C VL LC System with a built-in variable wavelength detector. It bundles a gradient pump, autosampler, column oven, and detector into one all-in-one system for routine analysis.
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
The G4290C VL bundles a two-channel gradient pump, an integrated degassing unit, an autosampler, a column oven, and a variable wavelength detector into one system. The pump mixes at low pressure and reaches up to 600 bar, with a flow range of 0.2 to 10 milliliters per minute, dropping to a 5-milliliter-per-minute ceiling at full pressure and extending to 10 milliliters per minute at 200 bar. The autosampler injects 0.1 to 100 microliters from a 100-vial tray, also rated to 600 bar. The column oven holds one 25-centimeter column up to 60 degrees Celsius. The VWD detector covers 190 to 600 nanometers at a data rate up to 80 Hz. OpenLab CDS Workstation, ChemStation Edition, or EZChrom Edition controls the system.
What each integrated module does
Gradient pump
Delivers a low-pressure-mixed gradient up to 600 bar, with an integrated degassing unit built in.
Autosampler
Draws a precise volume from a 100-vial tray and injects it onto the column, with an injection range of 0.1 to 100 microliters.
Column oven
Holds one 25-centimeter column at a set temperature up to 60°C, which fixes selectivity and retention time.
Variable wavelength detector
Measures absorbance at a selected wavelength as each compound elutes, over a range of 190 to 600 nm.

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. 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 1220 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 1220 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 1220 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 1220 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 1200 serves as the front end feeding your MS or fraction collector.
