"This is Mr Reliable among the GC equipment available on the market today. It has a very good range of inlet selections (eg. split/splitless/PTV /etc) and also offers the choice of a wide range of analysis (FID, MS, etc..). The sample holder can handle up to 80-100 samples and has a very good user interface that is the icing on the cake. I highly recommend to all!" |

"This is an easy to use product with various applications, especially when coupled to MS. For our labs purposes it is sufficient for analysis of peak area for optimization of different sample preparation techniques. It does have issues communicating with our auto sampler but is a very robust and versatile instrument. " |

"This machine has excellent performance. It is very reliability and user friendly." |

"The system is very reliable and the result very reproducible. Cleaning of the system can take some time and can be difficult, but it is not a frequent necessity. The software is user friendly but it takes some time to get used to it. It is very useful for pesticide screening, especially in water. I have seen some good results. It is also very useful for Toxicological screening with an MSD or MS. I highly recommended for this function." |

"This instrument is very useful and easy to use, I like the software, it is very robust. I use it for TPH analysis. I would recommend it to a colleague. The web services are also good, we get a lot of information there. " |
| Michelle Schmidt Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: Seton Hall University Read more » | RATING: 3.7
"Though the instrument works very well when it is functioning properly, we always seems to have issues with the sensitivity and proper functioning for long periods of time. Other than that it is a simple, user friendly system which is great for quick and simple sample analysis." |

"This is a very effective product. Rugged and dependable. Has been used heavily for years and is still in good condition. It is very easy to use. It has many features (both EI and CI). It is a good price for the type of instrument that you receive. Overall, a very good product." |
| Daniel Pazo Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Read more » | RATING: 4.3
"This system allows me to sample hundreds of cigarette samples with little downtime. The system is set up for expandability to increase the number of analyses I can do. Agilent is very easy to work with and has fast response times for problems I can't figure out on my own. I would recommend this system and the 7890 GC to any analyst that wants a robust, easy to use GC system." |

"This is our second GC-MS from Agilent. It has held up well with little problems. It has much higher sensitivity than the previous model but just as robust. We also use it with a pyrolysis unit from Quantum which we find useful but rather difficult to maintain and we're not as impressed as with our old Pyro Probe." |
