Reliable GC/MS Analysis for Routine and Research Laboratories

If your laboratory is working with a tight budget but cannot afford to compromise on analytical consistency, the Agilent 6890N/5973N GC/MS system delivers the industry-standard, rugged reliability your routine testing demands. By combining the precise Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC) of the Agilent 6890N gas chromatograph with the dependable 5973N single quadrupole MSD, this classic benchtop platform achieves excellent peak resolution and rapid spectral library matching across a versatile m/z 1.6 to 800 mass range. The system features a reliable diffusion pump and an automated Agilent 7683 automatic liquid sampler that eliminates operator injection variance, drastically boosting daily throughput for overnight sequences. It is an exceptionally cost-effective, robust workhorse for environmental laboratories testing volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs/SVOCs), industrial chemical facilities verifying raw material purity, and pharmaceutical operations conducting routine residual solvent profiling.

Agilent 6890N 5973N GCMS Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

Certified refurbished systems typically range from approximately $14,500 to $18,500, representing a fraction of the cost of comparable new-generation GC-MS platforms such as an Agilent 8860 or 8890 GC coupled with a 5977C Single Quadrupole MSD, which commonly range from approximately $110,000 to $145,000 depending on configuration and software options. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as carrier gases, GC columns, septa, liners, syringes, calibration standards, diffusion pump fluid maintenance, vacuum system servicing, ion source cleaning, software support, and preventive maintenance programs. Long-term ownership costs remain relatively manageable due to the proven durability of the 6890N/5973N platform and the widespread availability of replacement parts, consumables, and service support. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 6890N 5973N Diffusion Pump GC-MS System with 7683 Autosampler allows laboratories to significantly reduce capital expenditures while maintaining access to reliable GC-MS performance, automated sample introduction, robust compound identification capabilities, and proven analytical reliability for routine organic compound analysis and regulatory testing workflows.

EPA Method 8270E: Determination of Semivolatile Organic Compounds Using the 6890N Agilent with 5973N MSD and 7683 Autosampler | Diffusion Pump GCMS System

The Agilent 6890N GC System with the Agilent 5973N Mass Selective Detector featuring a diffusion pump and the Agilent 7683 Autosampler is well-suited for EPA Method 8270E, providing reliable identification and quantitation of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in water, soil, sediment, sludge, and waste matrices. The Agilent 6890N GC delivers excellent chromatographic separation across the broad range of target analytes specified in Method 8270E, including phenols, phthalates, nitroaromatics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other semivolatile contaminants. The 5973N MSD provides dependable electron ionization (EI) mass spectrometry with spectral library matching and confirmatory identification capabilities essential for regulatory environmental testing. The 7683 Autosampler enhances productivity through precise and reproducible automated liquid injections, reducing operator variability and supporting high-throughput laboratory workflows. Environmental laboratories benefit from robust analytical performance, consistent retention time stability, reliable quantitation, and proven long-term instrument durability. Combined with its extensive industry track record, cost-effective operation, and strong EPA method compatibility, the Agilent 6890N/5973N GC-MS System provides a dependable platform for EPA Method 8270E compliance testing, environmental monitoring, remediation projects, and routine SVOC analysis.
