Description
Agilent 5975C VL MSD with Triple-Axis Detector Overview
The Agilent 5975C VL MSD (G3170A) is a reliable single quadrupole GC/MS detector built for the identification and quantification of volatile and semi-volatile compounds in complex matrices. The Triple-Axis Detector (TAD) design improves signal-to-noise ratio for trace-level detection, while the diffusion pump provides stable, robust vacuum performance for consistent day-to-day operation.
This detector integrates with GC systems including the Agilent 6890N, 7890A, and 7890B, and supports a wide range of sample introduction methods — manual injection, autosamplers like the 7683 or 7693, purge and trap systems, and headspace samplers. That flexibility makes it well suited for routine and regulatory testing across environmental, food, pharmaceutical, and forensic applications, including VOC analysis under EPA Method 502.2 and EPA Method 524.3.
This Agilent 5975C VL MSD with Triple-Axis Detector is offered fully refurbished and tested, in working condition by Alliant Scientific.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the difference between the G3170A and G3172A models?
The G3170A (this listing) is the 5975C VL MSD with a diffusion pump and Triple-Axis Detector. The G3172A is the 5975C Inert XL MSD, which uses a performance turbo pump instead of a diffusion pump.
What is a Triple-Axis Detector (TAD)?
TAD is Agilent’s detector design that improves signal-to-noise ratio, enhancing sensitivity for trace-level compound detection.
What GC systems is this MSD compatible with?
The Agilent 6890N, 7890A, and 7890B GC systems.
What sample introduction methods does it support?
Manual injection, autosamplers (7683 or 7693), purge and trap systems, and headspace samplers.
Does this unit include a warranty?
Yes — this unit ships with a 90-day warranty.
