1100/1200 Series Compatibility and Emulation Mode
Introduction
In February 2006, Agilent Technologies released the 1200 Series platform of
LC systems and modules. The 1200 Series with more than 60 individual
modules replaces the 1100 Series LC.
Since its introduction in 1995, the application range of the 1100 Series LC has
been continuously extended. Currently it comprises modules ranging from
nanoflow LC and HPLC-Chip/MS for highest sensitivity at flow rates as low as
100 nl/min to preparative LC for compound purification at flow rates up to
100 ml/min.
The new 1200 Series extends the capabilities even further with new LC
modules for rapid resolution LC, enhanced performance of standard modules,
design changes, and new support capabilities.
To protect the 1100 Series LC investment, the 1200 Series LC modules are
fully backwards-compatible. In the 1100 Emulation Mode individual 1200
Series modules can be added to 1100 Series LC systems or complete 1200
Series LC systems can be operated with existing Agilent and third-party
control software. In addition single 1200 Series SL modules for rapid
resolution liquid chromatography can be added to 1100 Series systems to
increase the performance step-by-step.
The information below will describe the compatibility of the Agilent 1100 and
1200 Series LC platforms and the 1100 Series Emulation Mode to integrate
new modules into existing LC systems without software and firmware
