Built with an advanced Electronic Pneumatic Control (EPC) system and a highly efficient oven programmable up to 450°C, this high-performance gas chromatograph ensures exceptional peak resolution and retention time reproducibility. The integrated Flame Ionization Detector (FID) provides ultra-sensitive hydrocarbon detection over a wide 10⁷ linear dynamic range, while the heavy-duty CTC CombiPAL autosampler unlocks multi-functional automated liquid handling. It is an industry-standard, cost-effective workhorse for environmental labs tracking volatile organic compounds (VOCs), petrochemical facilities profiling fuels, and pharmaceutical operations conducting rigorous USP <467> residual solvent testing.

Agilent 7890 GC FID Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

Certified refurbished systems typically range from approximately $24,000 to $28,000, offering substantial savings compared to comparable new-generation systems such as the Agilent 8890 GC paired with the PAL3 Series II Autosampler, which commonly range from approximately $68,000 to over $95,000 depending on configuration and automation options. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as carrier gases, GC columns, septa, liners, syringes, autosampler consumables, detector maintenance, calibration standards, preventive maintenance, software support, and compliance-related qualification services for EPA, USP, ISO, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may also include injector maintenance, replacement electronic components, PAL autosampler servicing, and optional service contracts to maintain stable chromatographic performance and dependable analytical reproducibility in high-throughput laboratory environments. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 7890A GC FID System with CTC PAL CombiPAL Autosampler allows laboratories to significantly reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from reliable FID quantitation, flexible automated sampling workflows, stable chromatographic performance, and proven long-term analytical reliability for routine and regulated laboratory applications.

EPA Method 8015: Nonhalogenated Organics Using the Agilent 7890A GC FID System with CTC PAL Autosampler

The Agilent 7890A GC System with Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and CTC PAL CombiPAL Autosampler provides a highly reliable and efficient analytical platform for laboratories performing EPA Method 8015 for the determination of nonhalogenated volatile and semivolatile organic compounds using GC/FID. This configuration delivers excellent chromatographic separation, robust hydrocarbon detection, and dependable quantitative reproducibility for petroleum hydrocarbons, gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), and other nonhalogenated organic compounds commonly analyzed in environmental water, soil, and waste samples. The Flame Ionization Detector offers high sensitivity, wide linear dynamic range, and stable response characteristics for hydrocarbon quantitation, making it well-suited for routine EPA Method 8015 workflows. The Agilent 7890A platform provides precise temperature control, low carryover, stable retention times, and reliable carrier gas management critical for consistent analytical performance, while the CTC PAL CombiPAL Autosampler enhances laboratory productivity through automated liquid injection, headspace sampling, and reproducible sample introduction. Combined with dependable chromatographic stability, flexible automation capabilities, and high-throughput workflow compatibility, the Agilent 7890A GC FID System with CTC PAL CombiPAL Autosampler provides laboratories with excellent analytical confidence and operational efficiency for EPA Method 8015 environmental testing applications.
