8890 GC System

8890 GC System

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 GC system health and alert you to potential issues and how to solve them. Step-by-step instructions for common gas chromatograph maintenance procedures are presented on the touch screen or remotely through the GC 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 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 and alternative carrier gas solutions can dramatically reduce the amount of helium used offering flexibility and cost savings
• Optional Smart Keys, included with GC columns, provide information such as column usage with default parameters for configuration that helps automate method setup
• Received the independent ACT label that provides information about the environmental impact of the product throughout its life cycle
