PRODUCT INFORMATION
PRODUCT INFORMATION

This Agilent 6890N 5973 GC/MS System with Tekmar Atomx Trap & Purge has been fully tested and refurbished at our in-house testing laboratory.

The Agilent 6890N GC with 5973 Mass Selective Detector (GC/MS) and Tekmar Atomx Purge & Trap System is a robust analytical platform designed for the detection and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in complex matrices such as drinking water, wastewater, and soil extracts. The Agilent 6890N GC provides stable temperature control and precise electronic pneumatic control (EPC) for consistent chromatographic performance, while the 5973 MSD delivers reliable mass spectral identification and quantification. The Tekmar Atomx Purge & Trap system automates VOC extraction by purging analytes from liquid samples onto a trap for thermal desorption into the GC, significantly improving sensitivity and reducing matrix interference. This configuration is widely used in environmental testing laboratories, supporting workflows aligned with EPA methods such as 524.2, 524.3, and 8260, where purge-and-trap GC-MS is required for accurate VOC analysis.

At AMPTIUS | AMP Tech Instruments, we supply high-quality analytical systems engineered to meet the demands of modern laboratories. This Agilent 6890N 5973 GC/MS System with Tekmar Atomx Trap & Purge has been expertly refurbished and includes warranty coverage for added peace of mind.

Price and cost of ownership of Agilent 6890N 5973

Investing in the Agilent 6890N GC requires balancing the initial purchase price with long-term operational costs. A new system typically costs around $101,000, while a certified refurbished unit averages approximately $18,000, offering substantial savings without compromising performance. Ongoing expenses include carrier gases such as helium or hydrogen, consumables like columns, septa, liners, syringes, and detector components, as well as routine maintenance to ensure consistent results. Additional costs may involve software licenses, updates, and compliance requirements in regulated industries. Over time, service and repair of critical components such as injectors, detectors, or electronic control modules may also be necessary. A refurbished system, fully tested and backed by a warranty, provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for laboratories seeking dependable gas chromatography performance while maximizing long-term budget efficiency.


From Universities to Industry: The Impact of the Agilent 6890N 5973 GC/MS System

The Agilent 6890N GC with Agilent 5973 Mass Selective Detector and Tekmar Atomx Purge and Trap is a powerful analytical system designed for detecting and quantifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in environmental, forensic, food safety, and industrial applications. By combining gas chromatography and mass spectrometry with automated purge-and-trap sample introduction, it delivers efficient extraction, concentration, and highly sensitive analysis of VOCs in water and soil. Organizations such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency use similar configurations for vapor intrusion and environmental monitoring studies, while the United States Geological Survey applies GC/MS systems for low-level VOC detection in groundwater. In academic settings like George Mason University, this configuration supports both qualitative and quantitative analysis of VOCs and SVOCs for research and training. With its strong sensitivity, automation, and proven reliability, this system remains a critical tool for laboratories focused on environmental compliance and advanced analytical research.
