Additional Information about Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) US/EU/UK
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 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) is manufactured in order to reduce the facility's energy and water consumption. These initiates, 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
The Agilent facility at which the 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) is manufactured utilizes a large photovoltaic system to support and offset electricity from the grid. The average capacity of the system is approximately 250 kWh per year.
Responsible Chemical Management
Agilent has implemented policies and procedures internally and within its supply chain, following the General Specification for the Environment (GSE), to understand and communicate to the market on any hazardous chemistry. Further, Agilent's manufacturing facility is ISO 14001 certified and the 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) is EU RoHS compliant.
Shipping Impact
Agilent's 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) is manufactured in Waldbronn, Germany. The US market is serviced via Agilent's distribution center in Memphis, TN.
Product Content
The Agilent 1220 Infinity II System (G4286B) was de-materialized relative to the 1260 Infinity II System by over 50% by weight.
Packaging Content
The corrugated board material used to package the Agilent 1220 Infinity II System (G4286B) contains almost 50% of recycled fiber material.
Energy Consumption
The Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) consumes approximately 1.8 kWh per day. The system was tested using the following parameters:
· Sample: readily commercially available sample (e.g. RRLC mix)
· 1220 Isocratic
· Column: 4.6 x 250 mm, 5 µm
· Mobile phase: water and acetonitrile
· Stop time: 20 minutes
· Flow rate: 1.5 mL/min (avg. pressure 100 bar)
· Injection volume: 5 µL
· Sample thermostat: N/A
· Column temperature: N/A
· UV detector: 254 nm
· Peak width: > 0.1 minute (2 second response time) (5 Hz)
Water Consumption
Although water is essential for most applications as the mobile-phase for separation, the 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) does not require water to function.
Lifetime Rating
The Agilent Value Promise guarantees that the Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) will last at least 10 years during its use phase.
Packaging End-of-Life
The 1220 Infinity II LC System (G4286B) 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 1220 Infinity II LC System in EU, UK and US.
