Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System, S/SL, G3950A (Refurbished)

The Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System with a split/splitless (S/SL) inlet is a next-generation gas chromatograph designed for high analytical performance, precise chromatographic control, and simplified routine maintenance. Its patented Intuvo architecture replaces the conventional GC oven with direct column heating, enabling faster heating and cooling cycles, shorter analysis times, and reduced energy consumption.

The system is equipped with an S/SL inlet featuring full electronic pneumatic control (EPC) and can be easily expanded with FID, TCD, ECD, NPD, FPD, SCD/NCD, or single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry detectors.

Integrated Click-and-Run, Smart ID Key, and Guard Chip technologies simplify column installation, reduce leak risks, and extend column lifetime. Combined with precise pressure control, automatic leak checking, and compensation for environmental changes, the Intuvo 9000 provides a versatile platform for both routine and advanced GC applications.
