The Agilent 7890A Gas Chromatograph gives you everything you need to take your lab to the next level of GC and GC/MS performance, including advanced separation capabilities, powerful new productivity features and real-time self-monitoring instrument intelligence. Plus, of course, legendary Agilent reliability.
This GC 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. 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 datasystem software to simplify set-up and operation of backflush. 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 backflushing.
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.
The Agilent 5977 Series MSD is a stand-alone capillary GC detector for use with Agilent gas chromatographs.
The Agilent 5977 Series 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
• Four different types of independently MSD heated electron-ionization (EI) sources available: standard (stainless), inert, extraction (XTR), and high efficiency (HES)
• Optional chemical ionization (PCI/NCI) modes are 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
This configuration has advantages for many applications. The data is acquired through the use of the Agilent MassHunter Data Acquisition software. MassHunter Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis software packages are provided for analyzing the acquired data.
