Key Features

• Ultra-Low Detection Limits with High-Efficiency Source (HES):
  Achieves up to 1.5 fg instrument detection limit (IDL) with HES, offering up to 10× greater sensitivity than earlier single-quadrupole systems.

• Flexible Ionization Options:
  Supports Electron Ionization (EI) and Chemical Ionization (CI, positive and negative), with IDLs as low as 10 fg.

• Robust, Intelligent 8890 GC Platform:
  Equipped with touchscreen and browser-based controls, automated diagnostics, and advanced Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC) for reliable operation.

• Reliable Self-Cleaning JetClean Source:
  Automatically removes contaminants, minimizing downtime and extending maintenance intervals.

• Inert Sample Flow Path:
  Ensures maximum analyte integrity with minimal loss or degradation.

• High Performance Mass Spectrometry:
  Mass range: 1.6–1,050 u; scan speed up to 20,000 u/s; superior mass accuracy (±0.0052 u); mass stability <0.10 u over 48 hours.

7697A Headspace Sampler Features

• High Throughput Tray Design:
  Standard 111-vial configuration with 3 priority positions; racks can be exchanged mid-sequence for virtually continuous operation.

• Excellent Precision:
  Area repeatability <1% RSD with tray; <1.5% RSD in 12-vial mode.

• Advanced Pneumatic Control:
  Independent vial pressurization and GC head pressure control; supports 10, 20, or 22 mL vials.

• Built-in Quality Safeguards:
  Automatic leak check ensures sample integrity; barcode reader tracks sample IDs; supports Hydrogen carrier gas, priority samples, and auto Sleep/Wake modes.

• Optimized for Throughput:
  Adaptive overlapping, multiple headspace extraction modes, vial shaker, and optional cooling plate (5 °C to ambient) for temperature-sensitive samples.

Applications

• Pharmaceutical QC – Residual Solvent Analysis
  Automated leak check, vial handling, and barcode tracking make it ideal for FDA-compliant workflows.

• Environmental & VOC Monitoring
  Ultra-low detection limits for volatile organic compounds in water, soil, and air.

• Food, Flavor, and Forensic Analysis
  Reliable volatile profiling and aroma testing for complex matrices.

• Materials & Chemicals (including Petrochemicals)
  Inert flow path and high-sensitivity detection ensure robust analysis of fuels, lubricants, and industrial chemicals.
