Great instrument and reliable results. This instrument is a major asset to our lab
Application Area: Speciated TPH GCXGC
"Our Agilent 8890 GCXGC with two columns has dramatically reduced sample prep and runs samples in half the time compared to our old system with a single column. It is very reliable, robust and user friendly. It has also more than doubled our throughput and capacity."

Great product as always
Application Area:Pharmaceutical analysis
"This GC is just as reliable as any other GC from Agilent. The newer design is easy to use and maintain. The newer design for combined direct injection and HS inlet is a little bit tricky to use. The glass liner gets damaged easily if the alignment is not exact during the installation. Other than that the GC is excellent."

A state-of-the-art GC that delivers quality results and lasting value to your lab.
Application Area:Flavor analysis
"The Agilent 8890 is a robust, reliable, and user-oriented GC system, ideally suited for routine and experimental analysis. The touchscreen and software interface permits practical and flexible control of a variety of modes of operation, from a wide range of settings for inlet and column conditions, to detector parameters and data acquisition modes. Reliable and reproducible results are readily obtained, and the overall stability of the system results in reduced maintenance, and thus minimal off-line time. The Agilent MassHunter Software, included with all Agilent GC systems, enables fast, easy, customizable and flexible data analysis and interpretation, with advanced functionality such as dedicated peak deconvolution, unknown compound identification, and quantitative calibration (which includes automated quantitation using internal standard standards). The 8890 can be coupled to the 5977B quadrupole mass spectrometer, as well as a variety of other detectors (FID, FPD, NPD, TCD and ECD). Additional system modifications, such as the as 7650 Automatic Liquid Sampler, the 7697A Headspace Sampler, and the Multimode Inlet (with cryogenic functionality) equip the analyst with the ability to deal with different sample phases (liquids or solids) of different properties (e.g.: highly volatile or labile species). In terms of service and care, Agilent is attentive and timely in its response, and maintain good value for your investment."

"GC is supposed to be an elevation of the GC series but I find it more difficult to use and maintain. Only had it 1 year and the EPC went and affected the pressures for the other EPC on the other FID. They just don't make them like they used to(5890, 6890)."

Nice fast stable program but could be better.
Application Area:TPH analysis - Two inlets, two FID systems
"HAve had this for a week - it's a fast GC and nice stable. New on GC control pad is pretty cute. From my opinion, CDS open lab is a little bit more complex than necessary. Because we make 2 different calibration graphs (low and high) - it's constantly changing from sequence method to master and its 8 methods - 2 for front, 2 back and another 4 master -it needs reprocessing."
