Bio-inert Materials
For ensuring optimum bio-compatibility of your Agilent 1260 Infinity Bio-inert
LC system, do not include non-inert standard modules or parts to the flow
path. Do not use any parts that are not labeled as Agilent “Bio-inert”. For
solvent compatibility of these materials, see “Solvent information for parts of
the 1260 Infinity Bio-inert LC system” on page 51.

Bio-inert Connection capillaries Upstream of sample-introduction:
• Titanium
Downstream of
sample-introduction:
• Agilent uses
stainless-steel-cladded PEEK
capillaries, which keep the flow
path free of steel and provide
pressure stability to more than
600 bar.
