Agilent G1120A Multicell Transport for 8453 & 8454 Spectrophotometers

Key Features

• 8-Cell Automated Positioning
  Stepper motor moves the designated cell into the optical path in under 1 second.
• High Position Repeatability
  ± 0.1 mm repeatability with 0.060 mm step resolution.
• Tool-Free Cell Securing
  Flat spring design holds cells in position without additional fixing hardware.
• Wide Temperature Control Range
  Water-thermostatted cell holder supports 5 to 90°C via a user-supplied bath.
• Dual Instrument Compatibility
  Works with both Agilent 8453 and 8454 UV-Vis Spectrophotometers.

Applications

• High-Throughput Sample Analysis
  Automated multicell positioning reduces manual handling across sample batches.
• Temperature-Dependent Studies
  Wide 5–90°C thermostatting range supports kinetic or temperature-sensitive measurements.
• Pharmaceutical QC Testing
  Multi-sample UV-Vis analysis workflows requiring consistent, repeatable cell positioning.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What spectrophotometers is the G1120A compatible with?

The Agilent 8453 and Agilent 8454 UV-Vis Spectrophotometers. It is not compatible with older Hewlett-Packard models such as the HP 8450, HP 8451, or HP 8452A.

How many cells does the G1120A hold?

Eight cells in a rack, with a stepper motor moving the designated cell into the optical path.

What temperature range does it support?

5 to 90°C, using water circulated from a user-supplied thermostatic bath.

What cell dimensions are required?

Cells must be 12.5 x 12.5 mm with a 15 mm height from the cell base to the sample area.

What software controls this transport?

Any Agilent UV-Vis operating software revision A.05.xx or higher, through the spectrophotometer’s accessory interface.

Does this unit include a warranty?

Yes — this unit ships with a 30-day warranty.
