Agilent 5975C Series GC/MSD

The Agilent 5975C Mass Selective Detector (MSD) is a high-performance gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) system designed for precise qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex samples. This instrument is widely utilized in various scientific fields, including biotechnology, environmental science, and pharmaceutical research, for applications such as metabolomics, proteomics, and synthetic biology.

Key features of this system include:

• Inert ion source programmable up to 350°C, enhancing response for active compounds and late eluters.
• Monolithic hyperbolic quadrupole mass filter, providing superior mass resolution and stability up to 1050 u.
• Triple-Axis High Energy Diode Electron Multiplier (HED-EM) Detector, offering high signal-to-noise ratios for improved sensitivity.
• Synchronous SIM/Scan mode, allowing simultaneous selective ion monitoring and full-scan data acquisition.
• Trace Ion Detection and advanced deconvolution software for accurate identification and quantification of trace components in complex matrices.

The Agilent 5975C MSD is commonly employed in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and biopharmaceutical companies. Its capabilities are particularly beneficial in biotechnology applications, such as bioprocessing, gene editing, and molecular diagnostics, where precise analysis of complex biological samples is essential. First introduced in the early 2000s, this system remains relevant and widely used in laboratories today.
