  • Browser-based remote connectivity for full instrument access from PCs, tablets, or smartphones.

  • Built-in self-diagnostics, leak checks, and system health monitoring to reduce downtime.

  • Advanced Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC) with high precision and reproducibility.

  • Supports a wide variety of inlet modules: split/splitless, multimode inlet (MMI), on-column.

  • Detector options include FID, TCD, µECD, NPD, FPD, and full compatibility with MSDs (GC/MS configurations).

  • Compatible with Agilent 7650A and 7693A autosamplers for automated high-throughput workflows.

  • Retention Time Locking (RTL) ensures reproducibility across labs and instruments.

  • Energy-efficient modes (sleep/wake) reduce operational costs and improve sustainability.

  • Seamless integration with OpenLab CDS and MassHunter software for data analysis, reporting, and regulatory compliance.

  • Modular, upgradeable platform for future-proofing laboratory investments.

Applications:

  • Environmental testing: pesticides, herbicides, VOCs, SVOCs, and persistent pollutants.

  • Food and beverage analysis: flavor profiling, packaging residues, contaminants, aroma compounds.

  • Petrochemical and chemical industry: refinery gases, hydrocarbons, solvents, aromatics.

  • Pharmaceutical R&D and QC: residual solvents, stability testing, method development.

  • Forensic science and toxicology: drugs of abuse, accelerants, arson residues, explosives.

  • Industrial hygiene: workplace air quality monitoring and VOC detection.

  • Materials science and polymers: additives, monomers, plasticizers, and chemical profiling.

  • Academic and contract research labs for high-throughput method development.
