The intelligent 8850 Gas Chromatograph (GC) System is the smallest, fastest high-performance benchtop GC on the market. With a footprint about half that of traditional instruments, you can have two 8850 GCs running simultaneously without sacrificing valuable bench space. This energy-efficient GC has a compact oven for fast thermal cycling and uses 45% less power than a standard GC, which can help you meet your sustainability goals.
Features
- Compact footprint takes up about half the bench space of traditional GC instruments
- Small, precisely designed air-bath oven facilitates fast temperature ramps and rapid cool-down for short turnaround times and high throughput
- Uses up to 30% less power than other GC systems for lower operating costs
- Integrated intelligence monitors system health, alerts users to potential issues before they occur, and provides guided problem solving
- Accommodates split/splitless, purged packed, and cool on-column inlets to meet most method requirements
- Available with a flame ionization detector (FID) or thermal conductivity detector (TCD) to cover a wide array of applications
- Uses familiar consumables and software, minimizing method development, start-up, and training time
- Compatible with the same five-inch capillary or packed metal column format used with the 6850 GC
- Touchscreen displays system configuration, letting you update the active method, perform routine maintenance, and check instrument status
- Browser interface offers remote access to the GC from any location using a laptop or mobile device to monitor methods, run diagnostics, and more
- Unique top-opening lid lifts the column out of the oven, allowing convenient access to inlet and detector connections, while easy-open side panels let you reach key internal components when needed

Advancing gas chromatography workflows with smarter and smaller systems
Monday, October 20, at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT
Gas chromatography (GC) has powered analytical labs for decades, delivering precision across industries from petrochemicals to food and beverage. But traditional gas chromatography systems are often large, expensive to operate, and demanding in terms of space, utilities, and maintenance. As labs face increasing pressure to do more with less, the need for smarter, more efficient solutions has never been greater.
Join James Cain, PhD, Agilent Technologies, as he showcases the latest innovations in GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) that are reshaping how labs approach throughput, cost-efficiency, and footprint.
Plus, learn how a next-generation GC system supports both single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, and enables high-performance analysis across a range of applications, including gasoline aromatic composition (ASTM D5769), Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), distilled spirits profiling, and more.
Key learning objectives:
- Uncover how the 8850 GC can help save bench space while using less electricity and gas for flame-ionization detectors (FID), thermal conductivity detectors (TCD), and now both single and triple quadrupole MS applications
- Discover how the GC intelligence features of the 8850 can help increase system up-time through advanced system monitoring, onboard maintenance, and guided troubleshooting
- Investigate how rapid heating and cooling along with precise pressure and flow control on the 8850 GC can accelerate applications with multiple examples provided.
