World’s most sensitive and fastest diode-array detector The Agilent 1290 Infinity Diode Array Detector (DAD) is the world`s most sensitive diode-array detector and features a completely new optical design based on the Agilent Max-Light cartridge cell with optofluidic waveguides. With typical detector noise levels of < ± 0.6 µAU/cm the revolutionary 6 cm flow cell gives up to 10 times higher sensitivity than the 1200 Series DAD and VWD. Any compromising refractive index and thermal effects are almost completely eliminated, resulting in significantly less baseline drift for more reliable and precise peak integration. For ultra high productivity the 1290 Infinity DAD offers multiple wavelength and full spectral detection at sampling rates up to 160 Hz.
