Agilent 5975C GC/MSD

The Agilent 5975C is a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) system designed for precise and reliable chemical analysis. It combines a gas chromatograph, which separates chemical mixtures, with a mass spectrometer that identifies compounds based on their mass-to-charge ratio. This system is widely used in environmental testing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical industries, and food safety laboratories for quantitative and qualitative analysis.

The Agilent 5975C features an inert ion source that enhances sensitivity and extends the system’s lifetime by reducing contamination from sample residues. It also incorporates a triple-axis detector that improves signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for better detection limits and more accurate results. With a mass range of 1.6 to 1,050 atomic mass units (amu) and scan speeds up to 12,500 amu per second, the 5975C offers high throughput and precise mass analysis for complex sample matrices.

The 5975C can be paired with a range of Agilent’s gas chromatographs, such as the 7890A or 7890B, for versatile sample introduction and analysis. It is also compatible with various columns, including capillary columns for high-resolution separations.

New Agilent 5975C systems typically cost between $50,000 and $100,000, depending on the configuration, while refurbished units can be priced between $30,000 and $60,000, depending on their condition and the included components.
