Agilent 1290 Infinity II ELSD Evaporative Light Scattering Detector for HPLC

The Agilent 1290 Infinity II ELSD (Model G7102A) is a specialized Evaporative Light Scattering Detector designed for liquid chromatography (HPLC) applications, enabling sensitive detection of non-UV absorbing compounds crucial in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. Constructed in 2020, this detector supports a voltage range of 100–240 V and operates at 50/60 Hz frequency with a 100 W power consumption, ensuring compatibility with standard laboratory power supplies.

Key technical specifications include a 2 A fuse rating, a nitrogen gas inlet pressure requirement of 60–100 psi, and an intuitive user interface facilitating precise control over detector parameters. The compact footprint (12.6 × 7.9 × 13.5 inches) and moderate weight (22 lbs) enable integration into various HPLC setups typically used in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The ELSD’s ability to detect analytes without chromophores makes it essential for biotechnology applications such as lipid analysis, carbohydrate quantification, and impurity profiling in gene editing and molecular cloning workflows.

This detector is widely recognized among analytical chemists and researchers for its reliability in fluorescence analysis alternatives and as a complement to UV and mass spectrometry detection systems. The G7102A's functionality supports advanced cell imaging research and clinical diagnostics, expanding its versatility across biomedical engineering and molecular biology laboratories focused on live-cell imaging and fluorescence-based assays.
