Introduction

Bio-inert Materials

Bio-inert Materials

For the Agilent 1260 Infinity Bio-inert LC system, Agilent Technologies uses
highest quality materials in the flow path (also referred to as wetted parts),
which are widely accepted by life scientists, as they are known for optimum
inertness to biological samples and ensure best compatibility with common
samples and solvents over a wide pH range. Explicitly, the complete flow path
is free of stainless steel and free of other alloys containing metals such as iron,
nickel, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum or copper, which can interfere with
biological samples. The flow downstream of the sample introduction contains
no metals whatsoever.
