Simultaneous Mass Spectrometric and FID Detection for Advanced Analytical Laboratories

If your laboratory is tired of running separate workflows for compound identification and hydrocarbon quantification, the Agilent 8890 GC/MS-FID system offers the ultimate dual-detector solution to double your productivity in a single injection. By combining the intelligent diagnostics of the Agilent 8890 gas chromatograph with the reliable 5977A Mass Selective Detector (MSD) and a high-sensitivity Flame Ionization Detector (FID), this platform provides simultaneous structural identification and trace-level organic quantitation across a massive 10⁷ linear dynamic range. The 5977A single quadrupole mass spectrometer utilizes inert ion optics and an m/z 1.6–1,050 mass range for flawless spectral library matching, while the integrated Agilent 7693 Automatic Liquid Sampler eliminates manual injection variance during high-throughput sequences. It is a premier, robust setup for environmental labs analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs/SVOCs), petrochemical facilities profiling fuels, and pharmaceutical operations conducting critical residual solvent testing.

Agilent 8890 GCMS FID System Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

New systems typically range from approximately $165,000 to $185,000, depending on inlet configuration, detector options, software packages, and automation features, while certified refurbished systems generally range from $60,000 to $78,000, offering substantial savings on initial capital investment. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as carrier gases, GC columns, septa, liners, syringes, vacuum pump maintenance, ion source cleaning, detector consumables, autosampler maintenance, calibration standards, preventive maintenance, software licensing, and compliance-related qualification support for EPA, USP, FDA, ISO, AOAC, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may also include turbomolecular pump servicing, replacement electronic components, FID maintenance, and optional service contracts to maintain stable chromatographic performance and dependable mass spectrometry sensitivity in high-throughput laboratory environments. Purchasing a certified refurbished Agilent 8890 5977A GCMS FID System with 7693 Autosampler allows laboratories to significantly reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from simultaneous GC-MS and FID analysis, automated sample handling, reliable compound identification, and proven long-term analytical performance for regulated and research-based laboratory applications.

EPA Method 8270E: Semivolatile Organic Compounds by GCMS Using the Agilent 8890 GCMS FID System configured with 5977A MSD and 7693 Autosampler

The Agilent 8890 GC System with Agilent 5977A GC/MSD, Flame Ionization Detector (FID), and Agilent 7693 Autosampler provides a highly capable and reliable analytical platform for laboratories performing EPA Method 8270E for the determination of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in environmental samples. This configuration delivers excellent chromatographic resolution, sensitive mass spectrometric detection, and dependable quantitative reproducibility for complex SVOC analysis in water, soil, sediment, sludge, and waste matrices. The Agilent 5977A GC/MSD provides accurate compound identification and spectral confirmation for priority pollutants such as phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalates, nitroaromatics, and chlorinated organic compounds, while the integrated FID offers additional hydrocarbon quantitation capability and analytical flexibility for petroleum-related applications. The Agilent 8890 GC platform delivers precise oven temperature control, stable carrier gas flow, low carryover, and reliable retention time performance critical for EPA Method 8270E workflows, while the 7693 Autosampler enhances throughput through automated and reproducible sample introduction. Combined with strong sensitivity, dependable system stability, and compatibility with high-throughput environmental testing workflows, the Agilent 8890 5977A GCMS FID System with 7693 Autosampler provides laboratories with excellent analytical confidence and operational efficiency for EPA Method 8270E SVOC analysis applications.
