Agilent - Gas Chromatography (GC) System - Intuvo 9000, 7890B, 7820A, 490 Mobile Micro

The Intuvo 9000 Gas Chromatography (GC) System offers ultra-fast gas chromatography throughput while simplifying your laboratory workflow. Eliminate column maintenance and change columns in less than a minute with Intuvo’s click-and-run connections. Faster cycle times through ballistic direct-heating ensures reproducible chromatography and allows for higher throughput in the laboratory.

Intuvo’s built-in intelligence reduces operational and maintenance costs through its self-guided diagnostic troubleshooting and early maintenance feedback. Smart Keys will identify the exact instrument configuration and column parameters to reduce user error.

Key features

• Guard Chips eliminate the need to clip columns by protecting downstream components from contamination; columns are protected, not just maintained
• Intuvo no-trim GC columns require no maintenance 
• Direct heating oven delivers linear and repeatable temperature ramps from 30 to 450 at 250 C/min 
• Ferrule-free, click-and-run connections allow any operator, regardless of experience, to make completely leak-free connections
• Innovative Flow Path provides the ability to configure the GC flow path as needed, making backflush installation simple
• Smart ID Keys attached to critical flow path components provide information such as configuration and column age with default parameters for configuration
• Intelligent troubleshooting routines diagnoses problems in the system by measuring over 100 system touchpoints in real time and provide a step-by-step solution guide in an easy-to-read format
• Large touch screen control with ability to deliver instrument information wirelessly through secure networks
• Uses less than half the power of a conventional GC, can be plugged in to any outlet without changing the wiring of the lab
• Ideal platform for high speed or high throughput gas chromatography with fast heating and cool down time
• The perfect GC for use with 5977B, 7000D, and 7010B mass spectrometer systems

The 7890B Gas Chromatograph (GC) System is the world’s most widely used GC system. It features accurate temperature controls and precise injection systems, plus enhanced Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC) modules for the best retention times.

Key features

• Retention Time Locking (RTL) maintains exact retention times from injection to injection, column to column, instrument to instrument, and lab to lab
• Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) provides unique instrument capabilities, such as multi-dimension gas chromatography (GC-GC/Deans Switch), comprehensive two-dimension gas chromatography (GCxGC) with flow modulation, and backflush at the beginning, middle, or end of the analytical column
• Single filament TCD that does not require a separate reference gas, does not require manual potentiometer adjustment, and provides a stable baseline with a minimal amount of signal drift
• Auto-ranging FID provides the ability to detect and quantitate from parts per billion (ppb) to parts per thousand in a single injection
• Integrated SCD/NCD (sulfur or nitrogen chemiluminescence detector) provides low ppb detection, equi-molar response, and quantitation for sulfur or nitrogen contaminants without quenching from matrix
• Carrier Gas Options: Helium Conservation Module, Hydrogen Sensors and Alternate Carrier Gas Solutions dramatically reduce the amount of helium used to offer flexibility in your laboratory
• Large Valve Oven (LVO) allows for the combination of multiple methods and simplified maintenance
• Multimode inlet (MMI) serves as a programmable temperature vaporizing injector with flexible capabilities
• Agilent Inert Flow Path provides increased sensitivity for active compounds, from injection to detection
• Low Thermal Mass (LTM) modules, up to 4 installed and operating, increase sample throughput with rapid column heating and cooling

The 7820A Gas Chromatograph system is an affordable, high-quality GC with a wide range of inlet and detector options, including mass spectrometer. This system provides small to medium-sized labs reliable capabilities for a wide range of application areas, to meet regulatory and lab SOP needs.

Key features

• Retention Time Locking (RTL) provides more consistent data quality by maintaining exact retention times from injection to injection, column to column, instrument to instrument, and lab to lab
• Electronic Pneumatics Regulation (EPR) option provides the simplicity of manual operation with high precision digital display of pressure/flow and superior ease-of-use as compared to traditional manual pneumatics systems
• Great fit for routine applications using single quadrupole mass spectrometer
• Single filament TCD that does not require a separate reference gas, does not require manual potentiometer adjustment, and provides a stable baseline without drift
• Auto-ranging FID provides the ability to detect and quantitate from parts per billion (ppb) to parts per thousand in a single injection
• Other detectors include; FPD plus, NPD, and µECD
• Inlets options include split/splitless, packed, purge packed, and on-column inlets
• Valve configurations that include up to 3 valves
• Full electronic pneumatic control (EPC) from inlet to detector
• Simplified GC front panel keys and display provide sequence information, instrument conditions, and run status, and minimize operating errors
• Software keyboard and display allows the user to control the system when it connects with an integrator or 3rd-party software

The 490-Mobile Micro GC is a portable GC system with wireless connection to a mobile device, such as a phone or tablet, which eliminates the need to carry cables and a laptop. Analysis results can be viewed in full or reported in “true/false.” Optional alarms further improve follow-up actions by the operator.

Key features

• All features of the base instrument, plus:
• An intuitive browser-based user interface, compatible with any mobile device (phone, tablet or laptop) and offering basic GC control functionality that includes: choose method, start/stop run, single point calculation, choose and start a sequence
• Wifi connection reduces installation time and eliminates need for cables, making it easier and safer to enter remote and difficult to reach locations
• Optional software packages include energy metering for natural gas
• Available accessories include a self-containing field case providing carrier gas and power
• A new web browser based User Interface perfectly suited for your mobile device (phone, tablet or laptop)
• Basic GC control functionality includes: start/stop run, choose method, do a single point calibration, choose and start sequence
• Not having to carry a laptop nor cables, your carry-on luggage is reduced significantly making it easier to enter remote and difficult to reach locations.
• Immediate wireless connection ensures a quick setup.
• As the instrument is fast up-and-running, results are available more quickly and your time is used more efficiently.
• Having a wireless connection to the Micro GC there is no need to stand and wait directly next to the instrument. You can stay in your car or take shelter
