Single quadrupole GC/MS instrument, 5977C GC/MSD (2024)

Single quadrupole GC/MS instrument, 5977C GC/MSD (1)

5977C Inert Plus GC/MSD

The Agilent 5977C GC/MSD is a routine and reliable workhorse for environmental impurities and food testing, chemical and petrochemical analysis, as well as the analysis of forensic and pharmaceutical compounds. With over 50 years of leadership in gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, the 5977C single quadrupole GC/MS is built on the legacy of a series of trusted GC/MS instruments.

At Agilent we continuously strive for innovation. The new HydroInert source for hydrogen carrier applications not only minimizes disruptions from helium shortages but also improves spectral fidelity, peak shape, and sensitivity when running with hydrogen. System intelligence, like remote monitoring and email-based instrument health alerts, make system monitoring easier and more actionable. Together, these new capabilities on the 5977C GC/MSD improve sample throughput and analytical performance, enabling better business outcomes for your lab.

Product Details

Features

  • Detection limits as low as 1 fg IDL assert reliability and sensitivity for your analyses
  • The new HydroInert source improves chromatographic efficiency for hydrogen carrier gas applications and minimizes loss in sensitivity and spectral anomalies associated with H2 gas
  • JetClean self-cleaning ion source greatly reduces or even eliminates the need for manual source cleaning
  • Built-in intelligence of the 8890, 8860, and Intuvo 9000 GCs enhances productivity with smart diagnostics, monitoring, and simplified access to powerful operations through the integrated touch screen and browser interface
  • Inert Flow Path products like columns, liners, inlets, gold seals, and ferrules improve mass spectrometry workflows and ensure inertness with every surface that touches your sample
  • Agilent CrossLab Smart Alerts software uses email-based alerts to notify you when to consider replacing key consumables and when an instrument stops running anywhere in your lab; plan your preventive maintenance and monitor instrument health remotely
  • MassHunter Unknowns Analysis allows you to develop new methods with fast and reliable compound identification using its ability to create custom retention time locked spectral libraries
  • MassHunter Review by Exception and Compounds at a Glance simplify and speed up data analysis and review
  • Cerno Bioscience MassWorks MS calibration technology enables high mass accuracy on the 5977C GC/MSD
  • To enable a better-informed, sustainable choice, Agilent has partnered with My Green Lab to have the 5977C GC/MSD independently audited for their Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) label
