Event Overview
This presentation explores how the new Agilent 8850 gas chromatograph, now compatible with single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, can save users bench space, utility costs, and analysis time without compromising on performance. Viewers will see these features demonstrated through the applications of solvent purity by ASTM D7504 and gasoline aromatic composition by ASTM D5769. The 8850 GC using FID successfully accelerated the D7504 application from a runtime of 39 minutes using helium carrier gas down to 6 minutes using hydrogen. Combining the 8850 GC with the Agilent 5977C single quadrupole mass spec also yielded an accelerated solution for D5769 using hydrogen carrier gas with a total runtime of 9 minutes while achieving exceptional linearity for bulk compounds without compromising on sensitivity for trace analytes.
By viewing this presentation, you will learn:
- How the 8850 GC can help expand available bench space while using less electricity and gas for FID, TCD, and now both single and triple quadrupole MS applications
- How the GC Intelligence features of the 8850 can help increase system up-time through advanced system monitoring, onboard maintenance, and guided troubleshooting
- How the 8850 GC can accelerate applications with examples for solvent purity by ASTM D7504 and gasoline aromatic composition by ASTM D5769.
