The Agilent 8850 GC: Huge Benefits in a Compact Package
At Home on Any Bench - the 8850 GC is small enough, rugged enough, and simple enough to operate close to process areas, so you can monitor your production processes without interruption.
Familiar Consumables - the system uses the same consumables as the 8890 and 8860 GCs and is compatible with the same columns as the 6850 GC. A wide choice of 5" capillary and packed metal columns is available to suit your every application.
Inlets and Detectors for Your Analytical Needs - quality Agilent GC detectors and inlets provide the selectivity and sensitivity that your application requires. Analyze diverse samples with your choice of split/splitless, purged packed, or cool on-column inlets, as well as flame ionization (FID) and thermal conductivity (TCD) detectors.
Full-Function Touch Screen - the available touch screen provides a visual report of the system configuration, allowing you to update the active method, perform routine maintenance, and check GC instrument status.
No-Hassle Maintenance - a unique top-opening lid lifts the column out of the oven, allowing convenient access to inlet and detector connections. Easy-open side panels let you reach key internal components when needed.
