GC-MS, great results allowing the identification of hundreds of metabolites.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Metabolites analysis

"The machine was very performant in analysing hundreds of metabolites. We also have a good reliability, excellent accuracy and reliable identifications of the metabolites structures. When running the analysis, we were satisfied with the speed, the quality and the reliability of the machine. We are using GC d for the analysis of primary and secondary metabolites of fresh crops including hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds. Our preference for the GC-MS is because it is a method of choice due to its easy operation, high speed, resolution, sensitivity, reproducibility and reliability. Compared to other chromatographic techniques, GC-MS is less complex and requires less maintenance and operating cost, and also lesser variables and components such as solvents, columns and operating pressure. GC coupled with MS or MS/MS offers more reliability and the larger library is available compared to LC or other chromatography that have no extended compounds libraries. Another advantage of GC is the carrier gas and helium is the most suitable because it is safe to use and has the benefit to give a very high resolution, compared to other gases, or liquids used in LC, knowing that the purity and flow of the carrier gas are crucial to achieve good separation and reproducible chromatograms. GC has also good advantage in separating metabolites since capillary columns widely adopted and used provide a more efficient separation."

  • Application Area:Separations

"It's a nice gas chromatograph. However, it's not as user-friendly as the 7890B. For example, you can't change some parameters while the runs are ongoing unlike with the 7890B. But overall, very good."

Very sturdy instrument and easy to repair
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area:Toll manufacturer

"The instrument is older, however it can still get the job done. If maintained properly this instrument will last for years. The software associated with this instrument is very user friendly compared to the competition. I have another GC from Shimadzu, but the 6890 is my favorite. Be prepared to change liners and gold seals regularly."

High price, solid machine
Rating: 3.0

  • Application Area:Natural products

"We have bought a new Agilent Technologies 7890A GC System with an Agilent Technologies 7693 Autosampler and OpenLab software. We are satisfied with the parameters of the GC. There is only one disadvantage (comparing with an old 6890 GC): 7890B has got two speed ventilator for the fast oven cooling: the higher speed of the ventilator is very noisy. Luckily we have bought another OpenLab licence for the Data analysis only. So we can evaluate the chromatograms in the quiet office contrary to the noisy laboratory. On the other hand, the analysis using 7890A GC is faster than with 6890 GC. The priority in our laboratory is high throughput, which is great. I recommend this GC machine."

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!"

"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."

"I would like to see a change in Inlet Nut capability."

Review date: 27 Mar 2003 | 6890N GC

The Agilent 6890N GC has been made obsolete. This includes the G1530N, G1530N-EU, G1540N, and G1942N mainframes and all associated options. Agilent will provide guaranteed support for these products through July 31, 2015. Accessories for your 6890N GC can still be ordered. The 8890 GC system is the latest gas chromatograph from Agilent and is the replacement product for the 6890N.
