High sensitivity detection through optofluidic waveguide design
The Agilent 1260 Infinity II Diode Array Detector HS with fixed slit design is based on the Agilent Max-Light cartridge cell with optofluidic waveguides. These improve light transmission to near 100 % efficiency without sacrificing resolution caused by cell dispersions effects. With typical detector noise levels of less than ± 0.6 µAU/cm, the revolutionary 60 mm flow cell gives up to 10-times higher sensitivity than detectors with conventional flow cells. 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 120 Hz data rates allows precise identification, quantification, and purity analysis at trace levels for fast LC separations.
