In an Agilent 1100 Series system, the individual modules are connected

 

 

through CAN cables. The Agilent 1100 Series vacuum degasser is an exception

 

 

. The vacuum degasser can be connected via the APG remote connector to the

 

 

other modules of the stack. The AUX output allows the user to monitor the

 

 

vacuum level in the degasser chamber. An Agilent 1100 Series control module

 

 

can be connected to the CAN bus at any of the modules in the system except

 

 

for the degasser. The Agilent ChemStation can be connected to the system

 

 

through one GPIB or LAN (requires the installation of a LAN- board) cable at

 

 

any of the modules (except for the degasser), preferably at the detector

 

 

(MUST for the DAD). For more information about connecting the control

 

 

module or Agilent ChemStation refer to the respective user manual. For

 

 

connecting the Agilent 1100 Series equipment to non-Agilent 1100 Series

 

 

equipment, see Chapter 6 “Introduction to the Quaternary Pump”

1100 Series specifications

Agilent Technologies 1100 Series is a highly regarded lineup of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems designed to meet the demanding needs of laboratories in various fields including pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, and food safety. Known for its versatility, reliability, and advanced technology, the 1100 Series has established itself as a benchmark for analytical performance.

One of the standout features of the Agilent 1100 Series is its modular architecture. This design allows users to configure the system according to specific analytical requirements. The components such as pumps, detectors, and autosamplers can be mixed and matched to create a tailored solution, ensuring maximum efficiency and optimal performance. This modularity also facilitates easy upgrades and maintenance, significantly extending the life cycle of the instrument.

At the heart of the 1100 Series is its advanced pumping technology. The system utilizes precise, high-pressure pumps that ensure a consistent flow rate and excellent reproducibility, essential for accurate quantification of analytes. The binary and quaternary pump options provide flexibility in method development, enabling users to perform gradient elution with ease.

The Agilent 1100 Series also boasts a range of detectors, including UV/VIS, fluorescence, and refractive index detectors. Each detector is designed to enhance sensitivity and specificity, enabling the detection of a wide array of compounds. The UV/VIS detector, in particular, is known for its reliable performance and user-friendly interface, which simplifies method setup and data analysis.

Another critical aspect of the 1100 Series is its autosampler. The system's autosamplers provide high throughput and automatic sample handling, which significantly reduces human error and increases productivity. The intelligent design allows for temperature control and reliable sample injection, ensuring optimal results.

In terms of software, the 1100 Series is supported by Agilent’s OpenLAB software, which offers an intuitive platform for method development, data acquisition, and analysis. This software integrates seamlessly with the HPLC hardware, making it easier for scientists to manage workflows and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

Overall, the Agilent Technologies 1100 Series represents a significant advancement in liquid chromatography, bringing together ideal characteristics such as modularity, precision, versatility, and sophistication. Its commitment to innovation and quality makes it a preferred choice for laboratories seeking reliable analytical solutions.
