High-Sensitivity GC/MS Detection for Trace-Level Analysis

If your laboratory is struggling with long instrument bake-outs, neutral background noise, or poor peak shapes for active polar compounds, the Agilent 5975C Inert XL GC/MS Mass Selective Detector (MSD) delivers the elite trace-level sensitivity your benchtop demands. Featuring an upgraded turbomolecular vacuum pump for rapid pump-down times and stable high-vacuum performance, this single quadrupole mass analyzer incorporates an Inert XL ion source that minimizes active site interactions to maximize compound recovery. Crucially, it is engineered with Agilent's Triple-Axis Detector (TAD), an innovative architecture that radically reduces chemical noise and optimizes ion transmission for an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio in both full scan and Selected Ion Monitoring (SIM) modes. Designed to drop seamlessly onto your existing Agilent gas chromatograph, it is a premier, robust workhorse perfectly optimized for environmental laboratories running high-throughput EPA methods, petrochemical facilities monitoring purity, and pharmaceutical operations conducting rigorous impurity profiling and residual solvent testing.

Agilent 5975C Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The Agilent 5975C Inert XL Turbo Pump TAD Triple-Axis MSD provides laboratories with a highly capable mass spectrometry detector for GC-MS applications while offering significant cost savings compared to newer-generation systems. Certified refurbished units typically range from approximately $18,000 to $30,000, representing a substantial reduction in capital investment compared to a new Agilent 5977C GC/MSD, which commonly ranges from approximately $65,000 to $85,000 or more depending on configuration, software, and application-specific options. Beyond the initial acquisition cost, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses, including vacuum pump maintenance, replacement filaments, ion source cleaning, turbo pump servicing, calibration standards, carrier gases, software support, preventive maintenance, replacement electron multipliers, and compliance-related qualification services. Long-term ownership costs remain manageable due to the robust design of the 5975C platform, extensive industry adoption, and widespread availability of replacement parts and technical expertise. The Triple-Axis Detector (TAD) architecture provides enhanced signal-to-noise performance and improved sensitivity, helping laboratories maximize analytical productivity across environmental, food safety, pharmaceutical, forensic, petrochemical, and industrial testing workflows. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 5975C Inert XL Turbo Pump TAD Triple-Axis MSD allows laboratories to significantly reduce capital expenditures while maintaining access to reliable mass spectral identification, excellent sensitivity, broad application flexibility, and proven Agilent GC-MS performance, delivering exceptional long-term value for routine and advanced analytical laboratories.
