From Injection to Detection: Agilent Ultra Inert Is Your (Flow) Path to a Successful GC Analysis
By attending this presentation, you will learn:
- How the Agilent Inert Flow Path technology is utilized to protect samples from injection to detection.
Event Overview
Flow path inertness is vital to your analysis. It is also at the cutting edge of GC and GC/MS analysis. The Agilent Inert Flow Path ensures the inertness of every surface that touches your sample, so you can achieve the parts-per-billion—or parts-per-trillion—detection levels that today’s analyses demand.
Originally, Agilent laid the groundwork for flow path inertness with Agilent J&W Ultra Inert columns, the first GC columns proven to deliver on the promise of consistent column inertness and exceptionally low column bleed. Since the introduction of Ultra Inert technology, Agilent has continued to lead the way with Ultra Inert inlet liners, fittings, ferrules, guard columns, and retention gaps.
Agilent also offers inert vials, inlets, and MS sources to reduce interactions at all points of GC and GC/MS analysis. By minimizing activity along every step of the GC and GC/MS flow path, Agilent Inert Flow Path solutions improve system performance and ensure better results. In this webinar, we will discuss vials, inlets, liners, fittings, columns, and sources that protect sample integrity and allow for low-level detection. The Agilent Inert Flow Path is compatible with both helium and hydrogen carrier gas, as well as alternative carrier gases. Specific parts and strategies to maximize analysis will be discussed.
What does it cover?
- The Agilent Inert flow path, including vials, the inlet, liners, fittings, columns, and MS ionization sources and how combining them will lead to overall improvements in data quality.
Why should you attend?
- Anyone looking to gain a better understanding of strategies and recommended supplies that can be implemented to speed up your GC(MS) method and what is necessary to translate a method to a different carrier gas
- Laboratory technicians, researchers, and scientists wishing to learn more about how Agilent systems offer protection for analysis
