The 8890 Gas Chromatograph (GC) System delivers fast and accurate results with flexible configuration capabilities to address specific analysis demands. When accurate results are critical and instrument uptime is a must, this intelligent, high-performance GC consistently exceeds expectations. Built-in intelligence and sixth-generation EPC enable autonomous diagnostics that check system health and alert you to potential issues and how to solve them. Step-by-step instructions for common maintenance procedures are presented on the touchscreen or remotely through the browser interface.

Features

  • 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 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 multidimension 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 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 FID provides the ability to detect and quantitate from percent levels to parts per billion (ppb) in a single 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
  • Cost-saving advanced electronic pneumatic controllers such as Helium Conservation Module, Hydrogen Sensors, and Alternate Carrier Gas Solutions, dramatically reduce the amount of helium used offering flexibility, cost savings, and higher levels of safety
  • Optional Smart Keys, included with GC columns, provide information such as column usage with default parameters for configuration that helps automate method setup

Quantitating pesticides in black tea with steady performance and maximized uptime by GC/MS/MS

Tea is one of the most commonly consumed non-alcoholic beverages globally, and assessing pesticide levels in tea is essential for ensuring safe consumption, as required by many multinational regulatory bodies. Agilent Technologies presents a complete GC/TQ workflow solution for the accurate and reliable analysis of 246 volatile and semivolatile pesticides in black tea, with the Agilent 7010D GC/TQ. Discover how this workflow solution allows for quantitation of pesticide residues with LOQs as low as 0.01 ppb, yet also demonstrates calibration accuracy over a dynamic range, spanning up to five orders of magnitude over 0.01 to 1,000 ppb in the complex black tea extract.

Adding more confidence to sensitive quantitation in complex foods by triple quadrupole GC/MS (GC/TQ)

Concern about trace-level food contaminants is driving the demand for robust, rapid, and reliable methods for identification and quantitation of chemical residues and contaminants in food matrices. Agilent describes the use of the novel simultaneous dMRM/scan (dynamic multiple reaction monitoring/scan) data acquisition mode for reliable identification and quantitation of pesticides in challenging food matrices. Simultaneous dMRM/scan mode eliminates the need to reanalyze the sample in each data acquisition mode separately, enabling retrospective analysis, yet demonstrating comparable performance for quantitation to dMRM only mode. Explore an outline of this method using the Agilent 8890/7000E and 8890/7010C triple quadrupole GC/MS systems (GC/TQ), for spinach, walnut, and cayenne pepper extracts.

Optimized GC/MS analysis for PAHs in challenging matrices using the Agilent 5977 Series GC/MSD

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic to aquatic life and are suspected human carcinogens. Discover how the Agilent 8890 GC combined with an Agilent 5977 Series MSD system provides a precise and robust means of analyzing PAHs in difficult matrices, using proper instrument configuration and operating conditions. Explore how mid-column backflushing, continuous hydrogen source cleaning (JetClean), and use of an alternative draw-out lens result in excellent linearity across a calibration range of 1 to 1,000 pg.


Application NoteFood and Beverage

Hydrogen carrier gas for analyzing pesticides in pigmented foods with GC/MS/MS

Due to recurring helium shortages and increased prices experienced in recent years, there is an intensified demand for adapting the GC/MS analysis to hydrogen carrier gas. Agilent describes the key strategies for pesticide analysis with gas chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC/TQ) using hydrogen as the carrier gas, while maintaining sensitivity to meet maximum residue limits (MRLs). Explore key strategies for column configuration, optimized injection conditions, and choice of mass spectrometer (MS) electron ionization (EI) source hardware developed for use with hydrogen carrier gas – the Agilent HydroInert source and the Agilent High Efficiency Source (HES).
