Product Details
- The browser interface provides remote connectivity enabling you to monitor your smart GC system, check system logs, and perform diagnostics tests, from inside or outside the laboratory
- The full-function touch screen gives a visual report of the system configuration letting you update the active method, perform maintenance routines, and check GC instrument status
- Built-in intelligence autonomously monitors the health of the system, alerts the user of potential issues before they affect chromatographic performance, and offers helpful step-by-step guides to resolve issues
- Unique sixth-generation microchannel-based EPC architecture provides a significant improvement in reliability and longevity against gas contaminants such as particulates, water, and oils, extending system uptime and the life of the instrument consumables
- Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) modules, which are oven mountable and very low thermal mass, provide unique gas flow connections for multidimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC/Deans Switch), comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (2D-GC) with flow modulation, and backflush at the beginning, middle, or end of an analytical column
- Single-filament thermal conductivity detector (TCD) does not require a separate reference gas or manual potentiometer adjustment, yet provides a stable baseline with a minimal amount of signal drift commonly seen with valve switching
- Autoranging flame ionization detector (FID) provides the ability to detect and quantitate from percent levels to parts per billion (ppb) in a single GC injection
- Compatible with all GC/MS platforms
- Sulfur or nitrogen chemiluminescence detector provides low ppb detection, equimolar response, and quantitation for sulfur or nitrogen contaminants without quenching from matrix
- Helium conservation module, Gas Saver, and alternative carrier gas solutions can dramatically reduce the amount of helium used, offering flexibility and cost savings
- Optional Hydrogen Sensor Module Series 2 detects hydrogen leaks early and shuts off gas flows, continuously monitors status using built-in intelligent diagnostics, and requires calibration only every six months
- Optional Smart Keys, included with GC columns, provide information such as column usage with default parameters for configuration that helps automate method setup
- Independently audited for environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle, received My Green Labs ACT (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) label

Improve Your Gas Chromatography with Backflush
Capillary Flow Technology enables flexible implementation of backflush on Agilent GCs for higher throughput, less maintenance, fewer recalibrations, longer column life, better results, and lower costs.
Learn MoreHelium Conservation Module
A helium conservation module for 8890, 8860, 8850, or 7890 GC systems can drastically reduce your consumption of helium carrier gas and the associated cost, especially when used with Gas Saver. It can be programmed to switch to a different gas (typically nitrogen) when your GC is idle. The module is compatible with any inlet, backflush, and dual simultaneous injections.
Learn MoreGC Intelligence
Built-in GC Intelligence enables you to work smarter with autonomous monitoring, self-guided maintenance procedures, remote connectivity, and other time-saving features that can improve laboratory efficiency.
Learn MoreMultidimensional Gas Chromatography
Multidimensional chromatography introduces a second column with a different stationary phase into the flow path. Complex samples often have coeluting compounds so adding the selectivity of an additional column through heart cutting or GC x GC increases the GC resolving power and provides a solution to the problem of overlapping peaks.
Learn MoreRetention Time Locking (RTL)
Retention time locking (RTL) enables the retention times on one Agilent GC or GC/MSD system to be matched exactly on another like system using the same nominal column.
