The Agilent 1290 Infinity III is designed for ultra-high-resolution chromatography in research environments. Operating at up to 1,300 bar with 0.05% RSD precision, it excels at complex separations requiring maximum theoretical plates. Unique Smart System Emulation Technology (SSET) runs legacy methods from other manufacturers on modern Agilent hardware without method translation — a critical feature for regulated laboratories migrating platforms. Compatible with 1.8 micron to sub-2-micron columns. Includes automated solvent selection valves for method scouting and multi-dimensional chromatography capability.
