Agilent | 1200 Series - Reliability and Lifetime

Easy maintenance and intelligent system monitoring for increased uptime

Robust Components

Long-life pistons and seals, together with active seal wash, reduce the frequency of preventive maintenance, see Agilent 1200 Series pumping systems.
Deuterium and xenon lamps with a lifetime of over 2000 hours, see Agilent 1200 Series detectors.
Patented orthogonal spray design substantially reduces ion source contamination and the need for cleaning, see Agilent 1200 Series quadrupole LC/MS.

Easy Maintenance

Agilent System Intelligence

Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) tracks system usage (such as lamp burn time, solvent usage) and alerts you for timely replacement of parts.
Column identification module records column parameters (such as number of injections, particle size, maximum pressure) and provides a unique column signature.
Patented RFID tracking technology in the Agilent 1200 Series diode-array detector SL saves all relevant meta data from the flow cells and UV lamp.
Control Area Network (CAN) provides inter-modular, real-time communication for reliable operation, regardless of PC failures or network interruptions
