Agilent 8850 Gas Chromatograph

Compact & Efficient Design

This GC system offers a space-saving footprint that's 50% smaller than traditional GC instruments and uses 45% less power for reduced operating costs. The precisely designed air-bath oven enables rapid temperature ramps up to 300°C/min with fast cool-down for high throughput analysis.

Smart Technology & User Interface

This GC system offers a space-saving footprint that's 50% smaller than traditional GC instruments and uses 45% less power for reduced operating costs. The precisely designed air-bath oven enables rapid temperature ramps up to 300°C/min with fast cool-down for high throughput analysis.

Versatile Configuration Options

The system accommodates multiple inlet types (split/splitless, multimode, purged packed, or cool on-column) and detection options including Agilent mass spectrometers, FID, or TCD. It's compatible with existing 5-inch capillary or packed metal columns and uses familiar consumables and software to minimize training time.

Convenient Access & Sample Introduction

Features a unique top-opening lid for easy column access and side panels for internal component maintenance. Compatible with various automatic samplers (PAL3 Series 2, 7693A, 7650, and 8697 headspace sampler) and includes optional gas/liquid sampling valves and transfer line interface for flexible sample introduction.

Advanced Features

Optional modules include helium conservation for reduced gas usage, hydrogen sensor for safe hydrogen carrier gas operation, and backflush capability that reduces cycle times, maintenance, carryover, and extends column life while improving data quality.
