Hewlett-Packard 1100 Series Variable Wavelength Detector HPLC System with Modular Pump and Control Units

The Hewlett-Packard 1100 Series VWD HPLC system is a modular, benchtop high-performance liquid chromatography platform designed for precise analytical separation in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and pharmaceutical research. This stacked system integrates multiple modules, including:

• Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) module (G1314A)
• Quaternary Pump module (G1312A)
• Autosampler module (G1329A not explicitly listed but typical in series), with control and communication modules (G1313A, G1316A, G1322A, G1330B)

It operates on standard AC voltage inputs of 100-120/220-240 V at 50/60 Hz, ensuring compatibility with global laboratory environments. Manufactured in Germany, the system supports liquid chromatography workflows critical for bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows including the separation and quantification of complex biological samples.

Key technical features include:

• Modular stacked benchtop configuration for flexible setup and easy maintenance
• Variable wavelength detection suitable for chromophore analysis in synthetic biology and clinical diagnostics
• Precision quaternary pumping system enabling gradient elution critical for complex biopharmaceutical production pipelines
• Integration of multiple Agilent/HP modules to ensure high system compatibility and workflow customization

This HPLC system is widely adopted among molecular biology researchers and biotechnologists for its reliability in synthetic biology research and essential role in gene editing and molecular diagnostics applications. Accessory components such as power cords and interconnect cables are included for immediate setup.

The HP 1100 Series provides essential chromatography capabilities for biotechnology laboratories focused on live-cell imaging assays, fluorescence analysis, and biomanufacturing process monitoring, contributing to critical advances in biomedical engineering research.
