Integrated technology provides a true system approach to gas
chromatography
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced the Agilent
8697 Headspace Sampler, the first headspace sampler with integrated
gas chromatography communication. It marks the expansion of
intelligence capability that was first launched with the Agilent
Intuvo 9000 GC System in 2016 and later in 2019 with the Agilent
8890 and 8860 GC Systems.
“We recognized the increasing needs of our customers, especially
in the pharma space, to have greater remote access and increased
instrument intelligence,” said Mike Zhang, vice president and
general manager of Agilent’s Gas Phase Separations Division. “With
the introduction of Intuvo four years ago and the 8890 and 8860 GCs
two years ago, Agilent has been expanding the intelligence,
diagnostics, and troubleshooting capabilities of our GC
platforms.”
The 8697 offers several benefits. Advanced hardware features,
such as a microchannel-based EPC (electronic pneumatic control)
module with atmospheric pressure compensation and valve-based
sampling, allow for unprecedented precision and performance.
Customers will also have increased troubleshooting capabilities,
more robust connections between the HS and GC system, and
integrated instrument connectivity through the increased
headspace-gas chromatography system intelligence.
On a more detailed level, removable sample racks can be
exchanged while the headspace sampler is operating so that
customers can add samples while the sequence is running. An
isolated carrier flow path allows for alternate carrier gas use and
safely vents vials. Also, because the complete HS-GC system is on
the GC touch screen, customers can easily communicate with it
anywhere the lab network will allow.
“The 8697 fits into the ‘sweet spot’ for a number of samples
customers tell us they want,” added Eric Denoyer, associate vice
president of marketing for Agilent’s Gas Phase Separations
Division. “We’re excited to continue introducing smart, connected
instruments and extend beyond the GC platform.”
