Additional Information
Manufacturing Impact Reduction
This category evaluates the steps that have been taken to reduce energy, water, and waste at their manufacturing facility. Agilent has implemented various initiatives at the facility where the 1260 Infinity II LC System is manufactured in order to reduce the facility's energy and water consumption. These initiatives, which include rain water harvesting, equipment replacement, and an upgraded, on-site combined heat and power plant, have resulted in energy and water reductions relative to a 2015 baseline.
Renewable Energy Use
Agilent has a large photovoltaic system to support and offset electricity from the grid to help produce its products. The average capacity of the system is approximately 250 kWh per year.
Responsible Chemical Management
Agilent has implemented policies and procedures internally and with its supply chain, following the General Specification for the Environment (GSE), to understand and communicate hazardous chemistries. Further, Agilent's manufacturing facility is ISO 14001 certified and the 1260 Infinity II LC System is EU RoHS compliant.
Shipping Impact
Agilent's 1260 Infinity II LC System is manufactured in Waldbronn, Germany. Agilent services the US market through its distribution center in Memphis, TN.
Product Content
Agilent dematerialized the 1260 Infinity II Thermostat.
Packaging Content
The corrugated board packaging material for the Agilent 1260 Infinity II System contains over 40% of recycled fiber.
Energy Consumption
The Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC System consumes approximately 4.2 kWh per day. The system was tested using the system following parameters:
- Sample: readily commercially available sample (e.g. RRLC mix)
- Column: 4.6 x 150 mm, 2.7 ??m
- Mobile phases: water and acetonitrile
- Gradient: 20% at 0 minute, 90% at 10 minutes
- Stop time: 10 minutes
- Post time: 2 minutes
- Flow rate: 1.5 mL/min (avg. pressure 230 bar 340/180)
- Injection volume: 5 ??L
- Sample thermostat: 4 Grad.
- Column temperature: 40 Grad
- UV detector: 280 nm
- Peak width: > 0.1 minute (2 second response time; 5 Hz)
Water Consumption
This product does not consume water when it is in use.
Lifetime Rating
The Agilent Value Promise guarantees that the Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC System will last at least 10 years.
Packaging End-of-Life
The 1260 Infinity II LC System packaging materials includes cardboard, polyethylene, and polypropylene. In the US, the cardboard is readily recyclable; however, the infrastructure and market for recycling polypropylene and polyethylene is not readily available.
Product End-of-Life
Agilent offers an active take-back / refurbishment program for the 1260 Infinity II LC System in EU and US.
