Agilent GENERAL CHROMATOGRAPHY catalog

Significance of the Topic

High-quality sample handling and consumables are critical to achieving accurate, reproducible chromatography and spectroscopy results. Properly designed vials, syringes, gas filters and maintenance tools minimize contamination, extend column and detector life, and reduce unscheduled downtime. Agilent’s Essential Chromatography & Spectroscopy Catalog offers a comprehensive resource to help laboratories optimize performance across GC, LC, LC/MS, GC/MS and spectroscopy workflows.

Objectives and Overview

This catalog consolidates Agilent’s complete portfolio of chromatography and spectroscopy supplies into a boxed set, simplifying the selection and ordering process. It highlights product features, ordering information, selection guides, compatibility charts and maintenance tips for parts ranging from autosampler vials and syringes to gas purification systems, cross-lab supplies, and electrochemistry meters. The goal is to provide end-to-end coverage of consumables for routine and demanding applications.

Methodologies and Instrumentation

Products are engineered and tested under stringent ISO 9001 and Agilent quality standards. Agilent CrossLab supplies are designed for optimal fit on Agilent and non-Agilent systems. Autosampler vials undergo 33-point optical inspection; syringes feature PTFE-tipped or fitted plungers; and gas filters use high-capacity cartridges with visual indicators. Electrochemistry meters integrate rugged sensors with intuitive software for pH, conductivity, DO and ion measurements.

Key Results and Discussion

• Vials and Closures – Certified wide-opening (9 mm) and standard neck (8 mm) vials, crimp/screw/snap top options, micro-inserts, MS-analyzed kits and high-temperature headspace septa improve autosampler reliability.
• Syringes – Blue Line autosampler and CrossLab options cover volumes from sub-microliter to milliliter, with fixed or removable needles and PTFE or stainless-steel plungers.
• Gas Purification – Gas Clean and Renewable systems deliver ppb-level removal of oxygen, moisture and hydrocarbons to protect columns and detectors.
• CrossLab Supplies – Consolidated portfolio of fittings, tubing, well plates, vial racks and LVC cartridges compatible with major GC/LC brands.
• Electrochemistry – Portable and benchtop pH, conductivity, DO and multi-parameter meters feature robust electrodes, automatic temperature compensation and NIST-traceable calibration.

Benefits and Practical Applications

Agilent supplies reduce sample loss, prevent ghost peaks and baseline noise, and extend consumable life. Standardized CrossLab parts simplify purchasing across labs. The catalog’s maintenance, troubleshooting tips and compatibility charts support efficient workflow set-up and sustained uptime.

Future Trends and Applications

The industry is moving toward integrated lab automation, digital tracking of consumable lifecycles and in-line real-time gas monitoring. Agilent will expand online selection tools, barcode-enabled supplies and predictive maintenance integration to further boost productivity.

Conclusion

Agilent’s Essential Chromatography & Spectroscopy Catalog is a single-source reference for high-performance parts and supplies. Its detailed selection guides, quality-assured products and service support help laboratories of all sizes to achieve reliable results, lower operating costs and streamline workflows.
