Agilent 5975C Triple-Axis Detector GC/MSD System | Agilent Technologies, Inc.

General Description
The Agilent 5975C TAD Series GC/MSD System uses Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry to deliver high confidence results. The Triple-Axis HED EM Detector provides the flexibility, capabilities, and performance demanded by modern applications in all industries. The mass selective detector (MSD) is configured for electron ionization. The auto sampler systems can be selected to meet different requirements. Injection systems can range from an injector tower to a flexible CTC-PAL auto-sampling system. Other sampling devices are available from Agilent and third parties.

Gold quartz quadrupole with proprietary design enhances both performance and reliability up to 1050 u, covering all applications from routine EI to 1050 u mass range extends system performance for all models, and delivers superior performance for even the most demanding high mass applications; industry’s lowest mass deviation ensures longer-lasting tuning and calibration demanding CI analyses. 350°C inert ion sources now programmable up to 350°C, delivers enhanced response for active compounds and late eluters. Trace Ion Detection technology Lowers detection limits in complex matrices; together with the high temperature inert ion source, this new technology gives your lab powerful new analytical capabilities. Synchronous SIM/Scan mode lets you selectively monitor for ions of interest at high sensitivity while simultaneously acquiring library-searchable scan data. All ionization modes in one automated sequence Electron impact (EI) ionization with standard Cl ion source; Auto CI feature makes CI as easy as EI. New hydrogen EI signal-to-noise specification permits faster analysis under safe conditions with no compromise on analytical quality.
