Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that the 1260
Infinity Automated LC/MS Purification System, launched in late
December, was one of the winners in the Analytical
Scientist Innovation Awards. The automated solution, which builds on
ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometer
detection, was cited as one of 15 transformative technologies introduced
in 2013 for its ability to synthesize pure compounds without tedious
method development or scale-up work.
“The Analytical Scientist Innovation Awards showcase the extraordinary
range and pace of progress in our field, and we extend our
congratulations to everyone involved in the development of these
innovations,” said Analytical Scientist editor Rich Whitworth.
Referencing the system’s optimal performance, efficiency and
affordability, the publication detailed how the 1260 Infinity Automated
LC/MS Purification System enables scientists to rapidly and easily
confirm successful synthesis of target compounds in a matter of minutes,
without any calculations, method translation or “vague guesses” about
optimum conditions. Without in-depth training on preparative
chromatography, chemists, biologists or engineers can finally benefit
from state-of-the-art separation efficiency. Specialized
chromatographers can move away from routine purification work to focus
on truly difficult separations.
“We are honored that the 1260 Infinity LC was selected for the
Analytical Scientist Innovation Award,” said Patrick Kaltenbach, vice
president of Agilent’s Liquid Phase Division. “This automated UHPLC/MS
solution is a milestone for our customers looking for thoroughly
automated purification capabilities.”
The 1260 Infinity Automated LC/MS Purification System is a scalable,
workflow-focused solution for drug discovery and agrochemical research.
Built on robust 1260 Infinity UHPLC and preparative HPLC modules and
proprietary software algorithms, the system provides superior
purification with automated delay volume calibration, and focused
gradients tailored on the fly to individual target compounds.
