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

The Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System (G3950A) is a high-performance gas chromatograph engineered for accurate and highly reproducible chromatographic separations. Combining patented Direct Heating technology, precision Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC), and an advanced Split/Splitless (S/SL) inlet, the system delivers exceptional retention time stability and peak area reproducibility. Configured with a Flame Ionization Detector (FID), it provides excellent sensitivity and an extended linear dynamic range for demanding routine GC/FID applications.
