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

The Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System (G3950A), configured with a Split/Splitless (S/SL) inlet, Flame Ionization Detector (FID), and Auxiliary Electronic Pneumatic Control (AUX EPC), is a compact gas chromatograph designed for fast, accurate, and highly reproducible GC analyses. Its patented Direct Heating technology replaces the conventional GC oven by heating the analytical column directly, significantly reducing heating and cooling times while increasing sample throughput. The independent AUX EPC channel extends system flexibility by providing precise control of auxiliary pneumatic devices such as backflush systems, Dean Switches, purged unions, and other advanced GC accessories.
