General Description
The Agilent 5975T LTM GC/MSD is the first commercial transportable GC/MS system that delivers laboratory quality analysis. The 5975T takes advantage of Agilent’s proprietary LTM technology. These column modules provide rapid heating and cooling of the column for higher throughput. The LTM GC system requires less power compared to a conventional GC, reducing the required power supply from the mobile lab. The Agilent fifth generation EPC and digital circuitry ensures retention time precision, and allows easy operation, which makes it ideal for onsite, fast analysis.
The 5975T is seamlessly integrated with LTM GC technology to be a fast, high performance, high reliability, transportable GC/MSD system. The Agilent 5975T LTM GC/MSD with 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. 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.
