Description
Agilent 8890 GC FID System with 7693 Autoinjector Tower Overview
This system is designed to deliver high-sensitivity detection of hydrocarbons and organic compounds, leveraging the proven performance of the FID with a wide linear dynamic range and excellent reproducibility. The single SSL inlet supports versatile injection techniques, ensuring compatibility across a broad range of analytical methods.
The inclusion of the Agilent 7693 Injector Tower enhances analytical precision by automating syringe positioning and injection processes. This reduces operator variability and improves consistency across runs, making it ideal for routine laboratory workflows and regulated environments. With advanced Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC), the 8890 GC ensures stable gas flow regulation, while its fast oven ramping and thermal control support efficient separations. This configuration is particularly suited for laboratories seeking a balance of automation, sensitivity, and operational efficiency without a full autosampler tray system.
Agilent 8890 GC System is offered fully refurbished and tested, in working condition.
