Instrument Delivers Limits of Detection 10 Times Lower than Anything
in Its Class
Agilent Technologies today introduced the Agilent
5977B High Efficiency Source (HES) GC/MSD System, a tandem gas
chromatograph and mass spectrometer that delivers lower limits of
detection than any other instrument in its class.
“The 5977B is a major leap forward,” said Jim Yano, marketing vice
president of Agilent’s Mass Spectrometry Division. “It includes a new
high-efficiency ion source that makes it possible to detect pollutants
and contaminants at previously undetectable levels.”
Agilent announced the breakthrough system at the Beijing Conference and
Exposition on Instrumental Analysis, Oct. 27-30, an event the company
has participated in since the conference began in 1985.
“The new system gives scientists the ability to detect trace levels of
target compounds at levels 10 times lower than with any other
single-quadrupole system,” Yano said. “Coupled with our MassHunter
software, the 5977B is the most powerful GC/MSD ever.”
The Agilent 5977B will allow scientists to use smaller sample volume,
spend less time on sample preparation, reduce instrument downtime,
minimize solvent usage, and reduce the environmental impact of GC/MS
analysis.
“Agilent supports scientists and researchers in their quest for answers
and new discoveries through our technology, collaborations and
insights,” said Patrick Kaltenbach, president of Agilent’s Life Sciences
and Applied Markets Group. “Working closely with scientists in more than
100 countries, we deliver vital, actionable insights that advance our
shared goal of creating a better world.”
