gilent 7890A GC System
Short intro: The Agilent 7890A GC system is a proven, high-performance gas chromatograph designed for robust routine analysis and demanding research. With precise oven temperature control, flexible inlets and detectors, and automation options, it delivers consistent results and high throughput across environmental, petrochemical, food, and pharmaceutical labs.
Why choose the Agilent 7890A GC system
The Agilent 7890A GC system is built for stability and uptime. A highly stable oven provides accurate ramping and fast cool-down for shorter cycle times, while electronic pneumatic control (EPC) maintains carrier-gas pressure/flow with excellent repeatability—even across long sequences. Choose split/splitless (SSL) or programmable temperature vaporizing (PTV) inlets to match volatile, semi-volatile, or thermally labile samples. Detector options include FID for hydrocarbons, TCD for permanent gases, ECD for halogenated compounds, NPD/FPD for selective detection, or coupling to an MSD for confirmatory analysis. Seamless integration with autosamplers (liquid, headspace, SPME) enables unattended sequences for round-the-clock productivity.
Key features & specifications
-
Oven performance: precise multi-ramp programming with quick cool-down to reduce cycle times and improve sample throughput.
-
Electronic pneumatics (EPC): digitally controlled pressure/flow for inlets and detectors, improving retention time stability and method transfer.
-
Inlet flexibility: SSL and PTV (options for split/splitless, large-volume injection, solvent vent, on-column via configuration).
-
Detector choices: FID, TCD, ECD, NPD, FPD, or GC-MS interface; dual-channel configurations for parallel detection.
-
Autosampling: compatibility with ALS/liquid autosampler, headspace units, and SPME for volatile/semi-volatile workflows.
-
Data system: method templates, automated tuning/diagnostics (model-dependent), batch reporting, and LIMS-friendly exports.
-
Serviceability: modular design, front-access consumables, and diagnostic prompts to minimize downtime.
(Exact specs depend on the installed configuration—confirm via the official datasheet.)
Applications
-
Environmental: VOCs by purge-and-trap, SVOCs, pesticides (ECD/NPD), and greenhouse gases (TCD/FID).
-
Petrochemical & energy: refinery gases, simulated distillation (SIMDIS), aromatics, and sulfur/phosphorus compounds.
-
Food & flavors: residual solvents, aroma profiling, contaminants, and packaging volatiles.
-
Pharma & chemicals: residual solvent testing (USP <467>), process monitoring, and impurity profiling.
What’s included
Typical supply includes the 7890A mainframe GC, selected inlet(s) and detector(s), autosampler tower/trays (if configured), EPC modules, power leads, and data-system software/license per unit. Starter consumables—liner(s), septa, ferrules, and a general-purpose GC column—can be added on request. We can match columns and syringes to your validated methods and run a fit check prior to shipping.
Installation, method transfer & support
We provide delivery, installation, leak-checking, and performance verification. Method transfer support (temperature programs, flows, split ratios) helps you move legacy methods to the Agilent 7890A GC system with minimal re-validation. Preventive maintenance plans, spare parts/consumables, and operator training are available to protect uptime and data quality.
