What you are buying
A refurbished Agilent 1260 Infinity liquid chromatograph. It pairs a binary pump, an autosampler, a column thermostat, an integrated degasser, and a DAD detector into a complete stack. The pump delivers a two-solvent gradient; the autosampler injects a precise volume; the column compartment holds temperature steady; the diode array detector records full UV-visible spectra for identification and peak purity. The system runs OpenLab CDS.
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 binary pump reaches up to 600 bar, confirmed by Agilent’s own 1260 Infinity Binary Pump user manual, with a servo-controlled variable stroke drive and floating pistons. The autosampler, a G1329B, injects 0.1 to 100 microliters with a standard analytical head, extending to 900 microliters with an optional preparative head, and uses an X-Z-Theta transport mechanism to position the gripper arm for each pickup. The column compartment holds temperature from 10 degrees below ambient to 80 degrees Celsius, stable to within 0.15 degrees Celsius. An integrated four-channel degasser draws vacuum through micro-structured membranes to keep bubbles out of the flow path. The diode array detector covers 190 to 950 nanometers with a 1024-element photodiode array, reaching data rates up to 80 Hz across up to 8 wavelengths.
What each module does
Pump
The binary pump delivers a two-solvent high-pressure gradient at constant, low-pulse flow, rated to 600 bar.
Autosampler
The autosampler draws a precise volume and injects it onto the column, with an injection range of 0.1 to 100 microliters.
Column compartment
The column thermostat holds the column at a set temperature, which fixes selectivity and retention time.
Degasser
Vacuum degassing keeps bubbles out of the flow path, which matters most at low flow and high sensitivity.
Detector
The diode array detector records full UV-visible spectra across the run for identification and peak purity.

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.
