Module Materials
To ensure 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 73.
