The Agilent micro-electron capture detector (micro-ECD), as part of an Agilent GC system, provides trace-level analysis of halogenated organic compounds and aromatic pollutants.

Major design innovations neatly wrap ruggedness and reliability around unprecedented sensitivity and linearity. Spend less time maintaining the detector and more time running samples with the Agilent micro-ECD.

• Small detection zone volume contributes to unsurpassed sensitivity
• MDL of 3.8 fg/mL of lindane for 8890 GC
• A broad dynamic linear range for confident, accurate quantitation of samples containing compounds with unknown concentrations, from femtograms to nanograms per microliter, e.g., linearity of 5 x 10^4 for lindane
• Compliant with U.S. EPA Contract Laboratory Program linearity requirements for pesticides over a range of 1 to 500 picograms/microliter
• Higher linear velocities through the detection zone reduce analyte residence time, decrease the chance of cell contamination, and improve uptime
• Hidden anode minimizes the chance for contamination to reach the anode
• Optimized electric field minimizes contamination effects on cell performance
• Variable sampling rate from 5 to 500 Hz makes it ideal for fast chromatography
