What you are buying
A refurbished Agilent 1260 Infinity G1315C Diode Array Detector (DAD) VL+, with warranty coverage.
Every unit we sell moves through the GenTech Certified process. Solution Scientists disassemble and inspect each module, replace all consumables and degraded wear components, then tune and calibrate the instrument and verify performance against OEM and published benchmarks using known reference chemicals. The instrument ships with its verification report. A certified-refurbished system gives you that performance without the capital cost or the lead time of a new purchase.
What Agilent says about this platform
Agilent engineered the 1260 Infinity Diode Array Detector VL+ to provide spectral verification and compound identification without compromising routine quantitative performance. Agilent highlights this module for its high-speed 1024-element photodiode array and high-frequency data sampling (up to 80 Hz), making it fully capable of executing multi-signal tracking for fast-eluting narrow peaks. Featuring electronic temperature control (ETC) to protect the optics from room temperature drift, the G1315C delivers maximum baseline stability and low detection limits across an expanded 190 to 950 nm wavelength range. It stands as a rugged, compliance-ready HPLC detector that utilizes automated holmium oxide filters for internal verification and RFID tags to track flow cell and lamp usage history.
What this module does
Diode array detection
As a standalone photodiode array detector, the Agilent G1315C serves as the optical profile generator of an HPLC or fast-LC stack, executing several vital tasks:
Full Spectral Verification: It records continuous data across the entire UV-Vis spectrum in real time, allowing chemists to extract peak purity metrics, confirm identities, and build custom spectral libraries.
High-Speed 80 Hz Acquisition: It fires data captures up to 80 times per second, ensuring enough points are charted across ultra-fast peaks to yield reproducible, accurate quantification tracks.
Simultaneous Multi-Signal Capture: It monitors up to 8 separate, compound-optimized wavelengths concurrently in a single injection, maximizing analytical information without multiplying runtimes.
Programmable Variable Slits: It controls a mechanically adjustable slit width array (from 1 to 16 nm) to allow the operator to selectively trade absolute baseline sensitivity for wide linear absorbance ranges.
GLP Hardware Identification: It uses an internal radio-frequency scanner to read embedded RFID chips on installed flow cells and lamps, documenting path length, serial numbers, and lifetime hours for compliance tracking.

What “GenTech Certified” means
Refurbishment at GenTech is a defined process, not a wipe-down. Every system moves through the same specific stages.
1. Disassembly and rebuild. Solution Scientists strip the instrument down, clean each module inside and out, and rebuild it from the frame up. They replace pump seals, pistons, and check valves to specification.
2. Configuration and new parts. Solution Scientists install the options and modules you selected and fit new wear parts throughout. They replace the detector lamp with a new one and reset the lamp hours.
3. Diagnostic and performance testing. Solution Scientists tune and calibrate the instrument, run system diagnostics, and confirm detector wavelength accuracy. They test full-system pressure and gradient performance against OEM and published benchmarks using known reference chemicals.
4. Delivery and installation. The instrument ships in protective packing with a one-year warranty option and professional installation available from a GenTech Solution Scientist.
Labs that run this system
The 1260 HPLC is method-compatible across the techniques most regulated and research labs run every day. These are the application areas buyers ask about most.
Regulatory Peak Purity and Impurity Profiling
Pharma QC labs deploy the G1315C to evaluate peak purity during critical degradation assays. The full spectral data ensures that co-eluting impurities are instantly flagged, satisfying strict regulatory validation guidelines.
Fast-Gradient Contaminant and Dye Tracking
Environmental monitoring labs use the G1315C to profile contrasting runoff hazards, including agricultural aromatics and industrial water-soluble dyes. The 190–950 nm spectrum delivers complete structural verification across complex waste streams.
Automated Multi-Vitamin and Additive Profiling
Food safety testing facilities utilize the 80 Hz detector to quantify complex additive and nutritional panels in single runs. Simultaneous 8-signal monitoring accurately tracks diverse ingredients at their ideal absorption maximums.
High-Throughput Cannabinoid Library Matching
High-capacity cannabis laboratories use this DAD module to differentiate minor cannabinoids using custom spectral libraries. The robust temperature control ensures reproducible retention times during back-to-back client potency sequences.
Seized Material Screening and Chemical Identification
Forensic crime laboratories rely on diode-array fingerprinting to definitively identify unknown seized narcotics against reference libraries. The high-speed data rate generates the defensible peak metrics required to back up legal chain-of-custody tracking.
