Introducing: the New HP 1100 Series HPLC Systems

Modular HPLC - Automatic Validation And Low Cost of Ownership

HewlettPackard's new HPLC modules and systems answer a pressing question: How can today's laboratory do more with less? For laboratory managers faced with complex regulatory and QC standards and evershrinking laboratory budgets, the new HP 1100 Series meets this challenge headon.

Based on the successful modular design of the HP 1050 systems, the new HP 1100 Series fits in a single stack, on minimal bench space. All maintenance parts are accessible from the front. The system arrives from the factories with more builtin validation capabilities than any competitive HPLC. Its innovative design, engineering and manufacturing features translate into the lowest cost of ownership.

Modules Offer Analytical Flexibility

The HP 1100 Series offers a comprehensive selection of modules that work with any HPLC system and can be combined to make up a variety of systems.

Choice of Pumping Systems

All pumps come with purge valve, connecting tubing, solvent cabinet, and solvent bottles for convenient startup.

Isocratic for routine quality control analysis
Highpressure binary gradient for lowest dispersion and highest precision at low flow rates
Lowpressure quaternary gradient for highest flexibility

Vacuum Degasser

Online vacuum degasser offers reduced operating costs and ensures highest instrument performance, with no need for helium.

Large Column Compartment

Accommodates multiple columns
With Peltier heating/cooling for convenient, stable operation - above, below and at ambient temperature
With column identification module for automated GLP documentation and traceability of column parameters

Automated Liquid Sampler

Advanced design for fast access to different vial sizes
Precise, programmable injection volumes - from 0.1 µL to 1.5 mL
Builtin injector program for automated precolumn derivatization.

A Choice of UV Detectors

Two lamps in the HP 1100 Series diodearray detector ensure the highest light output from 190 to 950 nm, for the lowest detection limits over the entire wavelength range. The use of 1,024 diodes and an optical slit programmable from 1 to 16 nm ensures the best possible spectral bandwidth.

They come with builtin wavelength verification. Choose from programmable variablewavelength or diodearray detectors. Both detectors use a holmium oxide filter for automated wavelength verification and for tracking the detector's performance characteristics. They also employ a new design that was optimized for improved sensitivity and allows front access for the exchange of flow cells and prealigned lamps.

ChemStation or Handheld Controller

The HP 1100 Series system is controlled through either a multitechnique HP ChemStation or the new handheld control module. The HP ChemStation controls and evaluates data from up to four HP analytical systems (LC/CE/GC); it can be networked within the laboratory and linked to enterprise networks.

Maximizing Uptime and Productivity

The features of the HP 1100 Series directly help laboratories achieve higher uptime:

Fieldproven components. HP 1100 modules incorporate design elements that have been proven successful for several decades, reducing failure rates.
Extensive diagnostics. Software for onsite and remote troubleshooting can identify most failures for speedy repair.
Preventive maintenance tips. Suggested scheduled maintenance times and howto procedures are presented on CDROM. Timely exchange of maintenance parts reduces failure rates.
Easytorepair design. The unique EPAC enclosure reduces assembly/disassembly time by more than 70%.
