Next Generation GC and GC/MS

Our measure is your success:
• Extended chromatographic capabilities
• Improved productivity without the need to exchange methods
• Easier trace compound analysis in complex matrices
• Lab Monitor & Diagnostic Software

And wait until you see the new Agilent 7000A Triple Quadrupole GC/MS system, the latest addition to Agilent’s MS portfolio.

Click here and check out the the video that provides a detailed overview of the four simultaneous processes unique to a GC source and shows why the 7000A is the first MS/MS system designed to handle these requirements for the most complex GC separations.

The video also introduces Agilent's patent-pending "Helium Quenching" collision cell technology--the key to the ultra-low baseline noise of the MS/MS system.

Atomx — Automated VOC Sample Prep System

The patent pending Extractasol clean-up step in the Atomx reduces carryover or cross contamination normally associated with high-level water or soil analysis. A new Standard Dosing Valve provides the ability to select variable volumes without generating waste.

The Atomx features Tekmar's proven carousel drive capable of holding 80-vials for optimal throughput therefore reducing downtime. While priced competitively, this system offers unique features that cannot be found on other sample prep systems on the market today.

• Single platform system autosampler with built-in purge and trap for all water and soil matrices including drinking water and wastewater
• Capable of sampling low level and high level soil samples
• Only system to automate labor intensive Methanol Extractions
• Utilizes proven 80-position carousel design for optimal throughput
• Utilizes a digital Mass Flow Controller (MFC) for independent mode flow control (patent pending)
• Chiller options available for EPA requirements
• Ability to vary sample volume in 1mL aliquots from 1-25mL
• Reduce carryover with Extractasol - dedicated methanol port for rinsing needle, sample lines, and glassware
• Water reservoir included with standard instrument package
• Three - 15mL UV-protected standard spiking vessels prevent possible compound break-down. Capable of varying volume delivery in 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20µL aliquots and zero waste
• Shortest soil pathway on the market
• Automated system leak check diagnostics
• CFR compliance tools available
• Small footprint saves benchspace

Extra Column Volume

The ever-changing needs of HPLC applications such as smaller bed-volume columns, higher pressures, and increased sensitivity raise new demands on guard columns today. Many guard column manufacturers overlook the dead volume that results when a guard column or holder is connected to the analytical column. The use of pre-swaged or one piece nut and ferrule designs with fixed tube stems will increase extra column volume (shown in blue) and affect column efficiency. (Figure 1)
