Overview
The Agilent 1200 Series Refurbished HPLC Systems represent a rigorously reconditioned multi-unit lot of high-performance liquid chromatography instrumentation engineered for reliable isocratic and gradient separations in regulated and research laboratory environments. Built upon Agilent’s proven 1200 architecture, these systems employ low-dispersion flow paths, precise solvent delivery via dual-piston reciprocating pumps, and thermally stabilized detection optics—enabling consistent retention time reproducibility (<0.005 min RSD) and baseline stability (<±0.5 mAU over 1 h). Each unit operates on standard HPLC principles: analyte separation occurs within packed analytical columns under controlled mobile phase composition and flow rate (0.001–10.0 mL/min), with UV-Vis absorbance detection governed by the Beer–Lambert law. The inclusion of both G1314B Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) and G1315B Diode Array Detector (DAD) supports method flexibility across pharmaceutical QC, environmental analysis, and natural product characterization.
Key Features
- Fully refurbished Agilent 1200 Series modules—including G1322A degasser, G1311A quaternary pump, G1329A autosampler, G1330B thermostatted tray compartment, G1316A column oven, G1314B VWD, and G1315B DAD—tested to original factory specifications.
- Integrated system validation performed per Agilent’s Calibration and Performance Verification Protocol, including pressure testing (up to 400 bar), flow accuracy verification (±0.5% at 1.0 mL/min), and wavelength calibration traceable to NIST SRM 2034.
- Robust mechanical architecture with stainless-steel fluidic pathways, ceramic piston seals, and temperature-controlled detector flow cells (10–40 °C range) ensuring long-term baseline integrity and reduced carryover (<0.005%).
- Modular design supports seamless integration with legacy ChemStation software (Rev. A.10.03 or later) and compatibility with OpenLab CDS for audit-trail-enabled workflows compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
- Each system ships with full documentation package: refurbishment report, performance verification certificate, instrument logbook, and safety compliance summary aligned with IEC 61010-1:2012.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
These refurbished Agilent 1200 systems accommodate standard 3.9–4.6 mm ID analytical columns (10–250 mm length) and support common reversed-phase (C18, C8), HILIC, and ion-exchange chemistries. Mobile phase compatibility includes aqueous buffers (pH 1.5–10.0), acetonitrile, methanol, and tetrahydrofuran—validated for use with USP , EP 2.2.46, and ASTM D7217-17 chromatographic methods. All units meet CE marking requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EN 61326-1:2013) and electrical safety (EN 61010-1:2012), and are prepared for GLP/GMP environments through firmware-level audit trail enablement and electronic signature configuration.
Software & Data Management
Operation is fully supported by Agilent ChemStation (Windows 7/10, 32-bit) and OpenLab CDS (v2.x+), enabling method development, sequence execution, peak integration, and report generation with configurable metadata fields. Data files (.ALS, .D) retain native Agilent structure for retrospective reprocessing. System configurations include pre-installed security templates compliant with ALCOA+ data integrity principles: user access controls, electronic signatures, change history logs, and automated backup scheduling. Optional IQ/OQ documentation packages are available upon request to support lab qualification under ISO/IEC 17025 or internal SOP frameworks.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical quality control: assay quantitation, related substances testing, and dissolution profile analysis per USP monographs.
- Environmental monitoring: determination of PAHs, pesticides, and pharmaceutical residues in water matrices per EPA Method 8330B and ISO 14644-1.
- Food and beverage analysis: caffeine, preservatives, artificial colors, and mycotoxins using validated AOAC and EN standards.
- Academic and contract research: method development for natural product isolation, polymer additive profiling, and chiral separations with compatible column switching modules.
FAQ
Are these instruments covered by Agilent’s original manufacturer warranty?
No—these are refurbished systems sold under a 6-month limited hardware warranty administered by the authorized distributor, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Original Agilent warranty expired upon initial sale.
Is installation and on-site qualification included?
Installation support is provided remotely; on-site IQ/OQ services are available as optional add-ons with lead-time coordination.
Can these systems be integrated into a networked laboratory environment?
Yes—each unit includes Ethernet connectivity and supports LIMS integration via ASTM E1384 or HL7 messaging protocols when configured with OpenLab CDS.
What documentation accompanies each system?
Refurbishment report, performance verification certificate, calibration records, safety compliance summary, and complete set of Agilent operation manuals (English).
Do you offer extended service agreements beyond the 6-month warranty?
Yes—multi-year Platinum Support Plans are available, including preventive maintenance visits, priority technical assistance, and firmware update management.
