Agilent 5977C GC/MSD System with 8890 Gas Chromatograph and 7697A Headspace Sampler featuring High Efficiency Source (HES), advanced gas chromatography-mass spectrometry system for environmental analysis, food safety testing, 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, offering ultra-trace detection precision.

  • Reliable Headspace Sampling: The 7697A Sampler provides an inert sample flow path, automatic vial leak checks, priority sample insertion, hydrogen carrier gas compatibility, and barometric pressure compensation.

  • High Throughput with Tray-Based Design: Standard 111-vial capacity plus three priority positions; trays can be swapped mid-run for continuous operations.

  • Intelligent System Operation: The 8890 GC delivers touch-screen control, browser-based access, and smart diagnostics with proactive alerts.

  • Robust Detection & Clean Signal: Equipped with a second-generation triple-axis detector (TAD) and HES-enabled fast scan speeds up to 20,000 u/s.

  • Sustainable & Reliable Design: Inert flow path components and ACT-certified eco-friendly design support uptime and consistent results.


Applications

  • Environmental & VOC Analysis: Detect trace-level volatiles in water, air, and soil.

  • Pharmaceutical Residual Solvent Testing: Automated workflows ensure compliance and reproducibility.

  • Food & Flavor Profiling / Forensics: Accurate analysis of aroma compounds and volatile toxins in complex samples.
