Agilent InfinityLab column ID tags

Ordering information
We offer individual column ID tags
(p/n 5067-5917), as well as ID tag
reader upgrade kits for Agilent
1260 Infinity II LC (G4750A) and
1290 Infinity II LC systems (G4750B).

Agilent InfinityLab column ID tags help you monitor yourcolumn use by logging various column properties andusage parameters. Two types of information are stored:
static fields featuring physical characteristics such ascolumn length and particle size; and dynamic fields,
which include details such as number of injections andthe maximum temperature used.
A solution for any column
Column ID tags can be supplied in two ways: either together with an
Agilent column, or as an individual unit that can be attached to any column.
You can also fit ID tag readers to your Agilent 1260 Infinity II LC or 1290
Infinity II LC system using one of our upgrade kits.
