The Agilent 1260 Infinity Diode Array Detector (DAD) features a completely new optical design based on the Agilent Max-Light cartridge cell with optofluidic waveguides. With typical detector noise levels of <± 0.6 µAU/cm the revolutionary 6 cm flow cell gives up to 10 times higher sensitivity than the Agilent 1200 Series DAD and VWD detectors. Any compromising refractive index and thermal effects are almost completely eliminated, resulting in significantly less baseline drift for more reliable and precise peak integration. Multiple wavelength and full spectral detection with up to 80 Hz data rates allows precise identification, quantification and purity analysis at trace levels for ultra-fast LC separations.
