  Three removable 5 x 10 racks hold a full sequence of samples, standards and blanks.
• 10 nL to 50 µL Injections
  Syringes from 1 µL to 100 µL cover trace and routine injection volumes.
• Fast, Clean Injections
  Sub-100 ms injections with carryover below 1 part in 100,000.
• FID Linear Range Above 10⁷
  Trace and high-level samples quantify in the same batch.
• 450 °C Oven
  Ambient +4 °C to 450 °C with 0.1 °C setpoint resolution.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How many vials does the tray hold?

150 vials, in three removable 5 x 10 racks.

What injection volumes does the autosampler cover?

10 nL to 50 µL, using syringes from 1 µL to 100 µL.

What is the oven temperature range?

Ambient +4 °C to 450 °C.

What can the FID detect?

Hydrocarbons and most organic compounds. It does not respond to water, carbon dioxide or most permanent gases.

What gases does the system need?

A carrier gas (helium, hydrogen or nitrogen), plus hydrogen, air and makeup gas for the FID.

How is this different from the tower-only 8890?

The tower-only system has the same GC and detector but no tray, so it does not run queued sequences.

Does this unit include a warranty?

Yes — this unit ships with a 90-day warranty.
