Product description

Combined 6890 GC with 5973 MS detector offering high sensitivity, automated injection, and advanced software control.

Agilent 6890/5973 Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS)

The Agilent 6890/5973 GC-MS system, introduced in 1996, is a robust analytical instrument designed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. Combining the 6890 Gas Chromatograph with the 5973 Mass Selective Detector, this system offers high sensitivity and reliability, making it a staple in various scientific research and industrial applications.

Key features:

6890 Gas Chromatograph:
Split/splitless injection capabilities
Electronic pneumatic control for precise gas flow management
Retention Time Locking for consistent method performance
User-friendly design with finger-tight column nuts for easy column changes

5973 Mass Selective Detector:
Operates in full scan and selected ion monitoring (SIM) modes
Onboard perfluorotributylamine (PFTBA) tuning solution for calibration
High sensitivity, capable of detecting sub-picogram levels of analytes

Automated Sample Handling:
Equipped with a CombiPAL robotic sample injector
Supports liquid injections with various syringe sizes
Includes sample vial trays accommodating multiple vial sizes
Integrated syringe wash station to prevent cross-contamination

Software Integration:
MassHunter software suite for instrument control and data analysis
MassHunter Quant for quantitative analysis of target compounds
MassHunter Qual for compound identification in non-targeted analyses

Applications:

Environmental Monitoring: Detection and quantification of pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins.
Biotechnology: Analysis of metabolites, lipids, and sterols in biological samples, essential for metabolic profiling and biomarker discovery.
Pharmaceutical Research: Quality control and impurity analysis in drug development.
Food Safety: Identification of contaminants and verification of food composition.
Forensic Science: Analysis of substances in toxicology and drug screening.

Commonly used in:

University Laboratories: For research and teaching purposes.
Biomedical Research Centres: Conducting advanced studies in molecular biology and biochemistry.
Environmental Agencies: Monitoring and analysing environmental samples.
Pharmaceutical Companies: Ensuring product quality and compliance with regulatory standards.

While the Agilent 6890/5973 GC-MS system has been a reliable workhorse since its release in 1996, many laboratories continue to utilise this instrument due to its robustness and precision. However, newer models have since been introduced, offering enhanced capabilities and improved performance.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
