Agilent GC/MS 5973 (Refurbished)

The Agilent 5973 GC/MS system is a versatile and reliable analytical tool designed for a wide range of applications, including environmental analysis, food safety testing, and pharmaceutical research. Known for its robustness and high performance, the 5973 provides accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile and semi-volatile compounds.

Key Features:

• Triple-Axis High Energy Diode (HED) Electron Multiplier (EM) Detector: Provides high sensitivity and improved detection limits.
• Flexible Configuration: Can be configured for electron ionization (EI) or chemical ionization (CI) with automatic setup.
• High Throughput: Supports parallel SIM/SCAN for maximum productivity.
• Space-Efficient Design: Can be used with compact Agilent 6850 Series II GC Networked System.
• Enhanced Library Searches: Improved peak symmetry and higher EI response for reliable library searches.

Technical Specifications:

Mass Range

• 1.6 to 800 atomic mass units (amu)
• Extendable depending on detector configuration and application requirements.

Mass Analyzer

• Type: Quadrupole mass filter
• Resolution: Unit mass resolution (typically 0.7 amu at half peak height) across the entire mass range.
• Mass axis stability: Better than ±0.10 amu over a 24-hour period without recalibration.

Ionization Sources

1. Electron Impact Ionization (EI):
   • Electron energy: 70 eV (standard for routine EI)
   • Ionization mode: Hard ionization, causing fragmentation of analytes, providing structural information.
   • Sensitivity: Detection limits in the femtogram to picogram range.
2. Chemical Ionization (CI) (optional):
   • Ionization mode: Soft ionization, preserving molecular ions, useful for molecular weight confirmation.
   • Reagent gases: Methane, isobutane, ammonia, depending on the application (positive or negative ion modes).

Detector

• Type: Electron Multiplier Detector (EMD)
• Sensitivity: Typically, 1 picogram of octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) produces a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 10:1.
• Dynamic range: Linear dynamic range of greater than 10^6.
• Detection modes: Full-scan mode or Selected Ion Monitoring (SIM) mode.

Sensitivity and Detection Limits

• Limit of Detection (LOD): Sub-picogram detection for most analytes in SIM mode.
• Sensitivity (EI): Typically, 1 fg of OFN yields a signal-to-noise ratio of ≥10:1 in SIM mode.
• SIM mode: Allows detection of specific ions to enhance sensitivity for targeted analytes.

Gas Chromatography Interface

• Direct capillary interface: Efficient transfer of analytes from the GC to the mass spectrometer.
• Transfer line temperature: Programmable up to 350 °C, preventing condensation of analytes and ensuring efficient sample transfer.
• GC column compatibility: Wide range of columns supported (typically capillary columns with various stationary phases).

Key Advantages:

• Superior Sensitivity: Enhanced detection limits for trace level components.
• High Mass Accuracy: Precise mass measurements for accurate identification.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications from routine analysis to advanced research.
• Efficiency: Fast data acquisition and high throughput for increased productivity.
• Reliability: Consistent performance and robust design for long-term use.
