Overview of the Binary Pump
The Agilent 1290 Infinity Binary Pump comprises two identical pumps
integrated into one housing. Binary gradients are created by high-pressure
mixing. A degassing unit is included for applications that require best flow
stability, especially at low flow rates, for maximum detector sensitivity. The
flow path of the pump has been optimized for minimal delay of gradients.
Typical applications are high throughput methods with fast gradients on high
resolution 2.1 mm columns. The pump is capable of delivering flow in the
range of 0.05-5 mL/min against up to 1200 bar. A solvent selection valve
allows forming binary mixtures (isocratic or gradient) from one of two
solvents per channel. Active seal wash is available for use with concentrated
buffer solutions.
