  • Wide range of detectors: Flame Ionization Detector (FID), Electron Capture Detector (ECD), Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD), Nitrogen-Phosphorus Detector (NPD), Flame Photometric Detector (FPD), Chemiluminescence Detector (CLD), and Mass Spectrometer coupling.

  • High-temperature column oven with rapid heating/cooling cycles for high-throughput workflows.

  • Built-in autosampler compatibility (Agilent 7683 series autosampler, 100+ vial capacity).

  • ChemStation software for instrument control, data acquisition, reporting, and compliance support.

  • Robust design with proven reliability, making it a long-lasting system with strong service support worldwide.

  • Upgradeable to GC/MS by coupling with Agilent 5973/5975 Mass Selective Detectors for extended analytical capability.

  • Validated for regulated labs with GLP/GMP support and 21 CFR Part 11 readiness.


Applications:

  • Environmental Testing: VOCs, SVOCs, pesticides, herbicides, and PCBs in air, water, and soil samples.

  • Petrochemical and Energy: Hydrocarbon analysis, refinery gas analysis (RGA), detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA), sulfur compounds, natural gas characterization.

  • Food & Beverage: Aroma and flavor compounds, food safety residues (pesticides, contaminants), packaging leachables.

  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Residual solvent testing, active ingredient purity checks, excipient profiling, QC of formulations.

  • Forensic Science: Drug profiling, toxicology, arson investigations (accelerant residues), fire debris analysis.

  • Clinical & Biomedical: Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), metabolic profiling, breath analysis.

  • Industrial & Chemical Manufacturing: Process gases, raw material purity, specialty chemical quality testing.

  • Academic & Research: Method development, teaching GC fundamentals, multi-detector research workflows.
