Advancing gas chromatography workflows with smarter and smaller systems

Gas chromatography (GC) has powered analytical labs for decades, delivering precision across industries from petrochemicals to food and beverage. But traditional gas chromatography systems are often large, expensive to operate, and demanding in terms of space, utilities, and maintenance. As labs face increasing pressure to do more with less, the need for smarter, more efficient solutions has never been greater.

Join James Cain, PhD, Agilent Technologies, as he showcases the latest innovations in GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) that are reshaping how labs approach throughput, cost-efficiency, and footprint.

Plus, learn how a next-generation GC system supports both single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, and enables high-performance analysis across a range of applications, including gasoline aromatic composition (ASTM D5769), Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), distilled spirits profiling, and more.

Key learning objectives:

• Uncover how the 8850 GC can help save bench space while using less electricity and gas for flame-ionization detectors (FID), thermal conductivity detectors (TCD), and now both single and triple quadrupole MS applications
• Discover how the GC intelligence features of the 8850 can help increase system up-time through advanced system monitoring, onboard maintenance, and guided troubleshooting
• Investigate how rapid heating and cooling along with precise pressure and flow control on the 8850 GC can accelerate applications with multiple examples provided.

Who should attend?

• Lab analysts using GC and GC/MS who are interested in increasing efficiency and throughput
• Analytical lab managers looking to save time, operational expenses, and bench space
• Analytical chemists interested in the latest innovations in GC and GC/MS
