High-Performance Turbo Pump GC/MS for Routine and Trace-Level Analysis

If your laboratory is struggling with long instrument bake-outs or baseline noise during trace-level volatile organic screening, the Agilent 6890N/5973N turbo pump GC/MS system delivers the enhanced vacuum performance and sensitivity your workflow demands. Equipped with an upgraded turbomolecular vacuum pump, this single quadrupole mass spectrometer achieves significantly faster pump-down times and superior ion transmission across an expanded m/z range of 1.6–800. The system utilizes advanced Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC) and a highly efficient oven programmable up to 450°C to ensure razor-sharp peak separation and exceptional reproducibility of retention times. Paired with the rugged Agilent 7683 automatic liquid sampler to eliminate manual injection variance, this classic workhorse provides a robust, cost-effective setup for environmental labs monitoring VOCs/SVOCs, industrial chemical facilities verifying raw material purity, and pharmaceutical operations running high-throughput residual solvent assays.

Agilent 6890N 5973N EI/CI Turbo Pump GCMS System with 7683 Autosampler: Refurbished System Benefits and Pricing

Certified refurbished systems typically range from approximately $28,000 to $42,000, offering significant capital savings compared to comparable new-generation platforms such as the Agilent 8890 GC with 5977C Single Quadrupole GC/MSD and 7693A Autosampler, which commonly range from approximately $110,000 to $140,000 or more depending on configuration and software options. Beyond the initial purchase price, laboratories should account for ongoing operational expenses, including carrier gases, GC columns, septa, liners, syringes, calibration standards, vacuum pump maintenance, ion source cleaning, reagent gases for chemical ionization operation, software support, preventive maintenance, and compliance-related qualification services for EPA, ASTM, ISO, USP, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may include turbomolecular pump servicing, filament replacement, detector maintenance, autosampler component wear, and optional service contracts to maintain peak performance and instrument uptime. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 6890N 5973N EI/CI Turbo Pump GC-MS System with 7683 Autosampler allows laboratories to substantially reduce acquisition costs while benefiting from dual ionization capabilities, dependable quantitative and qualitative analysis, automated sample introduction, and proven long-term reliability for a wide range of regulated and research-based GC-MS applications.

EPA Method 8270E: Semivolatile Organic Compounds Using Agilent 6890N 5973N EI/CI Turbo Pump GCMS System with 7683 Autosampler

The Agilent 6890N GC System with the Agilent 5973N EI/CI Mass Selective Detector featuring a turbo molecular pump and the Agilent 7683 Autosampler provides a robust and versatile platform for EPA Method 8270E, supporting the determination of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in water, soil, sediment, sludge, and waste matrices. The Agilent 6890N GC delivers excellent chromatographic separation across the diverse range of compounds covered by Method 8270E, including phenols, phthalates, nitroaromatics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, and other priority pollutants. The 5973N MSD offers reliable electron ionization (EI) mass spectrometry for routine compound identification and spectral library matching, while the optional chemical ionization (CI) capability can provide complementary molecular ion information that assists with confirmation of difficult or closely related compounds. The turbo molecular pump ensures stable vacuum performance and dependable analytical sensitivity, and the 7683 Autosampler provides precise, reproducible liquid injections that support consistent quantitative results and high-throughput laboratory operations. Environmental laboratories benefit from strong method compatibility, reliable quantitation, robust quality control performance, and proven long-term instrument durability. Combined with dual ionization flexibility, automated sample introduction, and trusted Agilent GC-MS technology, this system provides an effective solution for EPA Method 8270E compliance testing, environmental monitoring, remediation projects, and routine SVOC analysis.
