Key Features
-
Unmatched Sensitivity with HES — Achieves instrument detection limits (IDL) as low as 1 fg (helium carrier, 1 µL OFN) for ultra-trace detection.
-
JetClean Self-Cleaning Source — Minimizes downtime by significantly reducing manual ion source maintenance.
-
Five Flexible Ion Source Options — Supports HES, InertPlus EI, CI, Stainless EI, and HydroInert for hydrogen carrier gas workflows.
-
Fast Scanning & Low Noise — Scan speeds up to 20,000 u/s with second-generation triple-axis detector (TAD) for optimized signal-to-noise.
-
Smart Diagnostics & Lab Intelligence — Built-in intelligence of the 8890 GC enables touch-screen control, remote diagnostics, Smart Alerts, and proactive maintenance alerts.
-
Inert Flow Path Components — Supports inert columns, liners, gold seals, and ferrules to preserve analyte integrity and boost uptime.
-
Sustainable & Audited Design — Holds the My Green Lab ACT label for sustainability, accountability, and transparency.
Applications
Ideal for labs requiring reliable, high-sensitivity GC/MS performance across a broad range of sectors:
-
Environmental, Petrochemical, Chemical, and Food Labs — Trace contaminant screening in complex matrices.
-
Forensics & Pharmaceutical QC — Detecting low-level analytes in demanding regulatory environments.
-
Materials Testing & Research — Built to withstand tough, high-throughput lab settings while maintaining precision.

Why It Stands Out
-
Unrivaled Sensitivity — With 1 fg IDL, it’s one of the most sensitive single-quadrupole systems available.
-
Maintenance Ease — JetClean and inert path design maximize uptime and minimize disruptions.
-
Smart Lab Engineered — User-aware features and remote alert systems keep busy labs running optimally.
-
Versatile Ion Source Support — Allows flexibility depending on application needs (He, H₂ carriers, EI/CI).
-
Proven Reliability & Green Credentials — Built on decades of Agilent innovation; independently audited for sustainability.
