Agilent Series 1100 HPLC System

Binary pump:
Flow Precision: <0.3 % RSD (typically <0.15 % RSD)
Flow Range: Setpoints from 0.001 to 5.0 ml/min,  in 0.001 ml/min increments
Operating range: 0 – 40 MPa (0 – 400 bar, 0 – 5880 psi)
Pulsation: <2 % amplitude (typically <1 %) at 1 ml/min isopropanol at all pressures >1 MPa (> 10 bar, >147 psi)
