Agilent 5977B GC/MSD

The 5977 is the new Agilent GC/MSD platform and replaces the 5975C and 5975E systems

• Improves performance with high sensitivity Extractor Ion Source
• MassHunter GC/MS Acquisition
• MassHunter and MSD ChemStation data analysis
• Integration of new Agilent Vacuum Pumps brings intelligent operation

The 5977 Series MSD is a stand-alone capillary GC detector for use with an Agilent Series Gas Chromatograph. 5977 Series MSDs are equipped with a diffusion pump, and a choice of three foreline pumps. In addition, there are two types of analyzers (stainless steel or inert) and four types of ion sources. The MSD features:

• Local control panel (LCP) for locally monitoring and operating the MSD
• One of two different high vacuum pumps
• One of three different foreline pumps
• Three different types of independently MSD heated electron-ionization (EI) sources available: standard (stainless), inert, and extraction
• Optional chemical ionization (PCI/NCI) modes available that add a chemical-ionization (CI) source, reagent gas flow controller and plumbing, and CI tuning calibration
• Independently MSD heated hyperbolic quadrupole mass filter
• High-energy dynode (HED) electron multiplier detector
• Independently GC heated GC/MSD interface

Agilent 7890A GC System

The Agilent 7890 (G3440A/G3440B) is a state-of-the-art gas chromatograph that provides superior performance for all applications. Key to its performance is the use of advanced electronic pneumatic control (EPC) modules and high performance GC oven temperature control. Each EPC unit is optimized for its intended use with a specific inlet and detector option.

Features:

• GC oven temperature control of the 7890A oven allows for fast and precise temperature ramping. Overall thermal performance provides optimal chromatography including peak symmetry, retention time repeatability, and retention index accuracy.
• The combination of precise pneumatic and temperature control leads to extremely precise retention time reproducibility, which is the basis for all chromatographic measurement.
• Agilent’s proprietary Capillary Flow Technology provides a new dimension in chromatography with reliable, leak free, in-oven capillary connections that stand up to repeated GC oven cycling over time.
• The 7890A GC has enhanced firmware to extend Capillary Flow capabilities and enhanced data system software to simplify set-up and operation of back flush.
• These new tools make it easier to analyze complex matrices and unknowns, and provide gains in productivity and data integrity for routine analyses via 2-dimensional heart cutting, detector splitting, and column back flushing. The 7890A GC has advanced built-in capabilities to monitor system resources (counters, electronic logs and diagnostics). Agilent GC systems are known for their reliability, ruggedness, and long life.

Agilent 7693A Automatic Liquid Sampler

The Agilent 7693A ALS (Automatic Liquid Sampler) provides reliable, fast, and precise injections for Agilent GC and GC/MS systems. The modular design allows this autosampler to grow with your lab. Start with a tower and 16 vials. Expand to the 150 vial tray. Upgrade to the heater, mixer barcode reader module. Add a second tower for dual simultaneous injections.

Features:

• 150 sample vial tray allows longer unattended operation
• Dual simultaneous injection saves time by doubling sample throughput
• Fast injection technology minimizes needle discrimination and enables use of external standards
• Sandwich injections of three layers eliminate manual error from internal standard, surrogate, or protectant additions
• Sample heater and mixer dramatically improves high molecular weight chromatographic results
• Heat the entire tray or cool it to sub-ambient temperatures to meet your lab’s needs
• Modular design allows the flexibility to easily move the sampler from GC to GC or start with a single injector and upgrade as needed
• Priority sample capability. There is no need to stop the sequence to add next most important sample
• Barcode reader allows the system to perform specific actions on mismatch, ensuring chain of custody Agilent Barcode Printing Solution.
• Extend the useful life of the 6890N GC by upgrading aging autoinjectors to 7693A
