Agilent GCMS 7890B Gas Chromatograph

• Retention Time Locking (RTL) maintains exact retention times from injection to injection, column to column, instrument to instrument, and lab to lab
• Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) provides unique instrument capabilities, such as multi-dimension gas chromatography (GC-GC/Deans Switch), comprehensive two-dimension gas chromatography (GCxGC) with flow modulation, and backflush at the beginning, middle, or end of the analytical column
• Single filament TCD that does not require a separate reference gas, does not require manual potentiometer adjustment, and provides a stable baseline with a minimal amount of signal drift
• Auto-ranging FID provides the ability to detect and quantitate from parts per billion (ppb) to parts per thousand in a single injection
• Integrated SCD/NCD (sulfur or nitrogen chemiluminescence detector) provides low ppb detection, equi-molar response, and quantitation for sulfur or nitrogen contaminants without quenching from matrix
• Carrier Gas Options: Helium Conservation Module, Hydrogen Sensors and Alternate Carrier Gas Solutions dramatically reduce the amount of helium used to offer flexibility in your laboratory
• Large Valve Oven (LVO) allows for the combination of multiple methods and simplified maintenance
• Multimode inlet (MMI) serves as a programmable temperature vaporizing injector with flexible capabilities
• Agilent Inert Flow Path provides increased sensitivity for active compounds, from injection to detection
• Low Thermal Mass (LTM) modules, up to 4 installed and operating, increase sample throughput with rapid column heating and cooling

5977B Inert Plus MSD

• Improve sensitivity (10x greater) with detection limits as low as 1.5 fg IDL, bringing yesterday’s triple-quadrupole limits of detection into today’s single quadrupole laboratory
• Reduce time spent on sample prep and maintenance, while meeting your current sensitivity requirements, with just 1/10 of the original sample volume
• Minimize operating and shipping costs by storing, prepping, and disposing of 10x less material
• Benefit from eco-friendly features, such as Sleep/Wake modes, and conserve electricity and other resources like carrier gas
• Greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for manual source cleaning with the JetClean self-cleaning ion source
• The built-in intelligence of the 8890 GC drives productivity with diagnostics, monitoring, and simplified access to powerful operations through the integrated touchscreen and browser interface
• Inert Flow Path provides improved performance for sensitive analytes at low levels, extending the range of quantitation and detection
• Simplify method development, from instrument settings to data analysis and reporting with MassHunter Software

7697A Headspace Sampler

• The 7697A Headspace Sampler 12 Vial Capacity configuration is perfect for academic labs and those with small sample loads
• Standard 111 sample configuration with 3 priority samples
• Exchangeable trays during a sequence for increased sample capacity
• Hydrogen carrier and auto Sleep/Wake modes conserve valuable laboratory resources
• Software control through Agilent OpenLAB CDS software and Agilent MassHunter software
• Software control with Waters Empower 2 software and Waters Empower™ 3 software
• Independent control of vial pressurization and column head pressure provides increased precision by ensuring no back pressure during sample transfer
• Automatic vial leak test checks each vial during pressurization – without time consuming calibration – to ensure that every sample is properly capped
• Sample Bar Code Reader with data transfer capabilities allows you to track samples before they enter the oven
• Multiple headspace concentrations (MHC) with up to 100 extractions per GC start allows for more complete sampling and increased sensitivity
• Multiple headspace extractions (MHE) with up to 100 extractions per vial
• Supports 10 mL, 20 mL, or 22 mL vials without an adapter
• Method development software transfers methods from any headspace system or quickly designs a method from scratch using just a few known parameters
• Samples depressurize before returning to tray
