Agilent 5977C GC/MSD System with 8890 Gas Chromatograph and 7693A Automatic Liquid Sampler featuring High Efficiency Source (HES), powerful gas chromatography-mass spectrometry solution for environmental testing, food safety analysis, pharmaceutical research, forensic toxicology, and complex industrial chemical applications.

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.
