Consumables or Supplies are split between two major product lines -
Proprietary Parts -
Replacement Parts designed for Agilent instruments
GC - inlet and detector parts
GC/MS - Source Parts, Filaments
LC - flow cells, pistons, seals
LC/MS nebulizers, calibrants, tuning mixes
ICP-MS - Ion Lenses, nebulizers
Made to Agilent proprietary specifications
Make products easier to order, install and use for all users
Clean - Septa should NOT be baked out in oven
Novel packaging
Keeps products clean until use
Know when to re-order / Dispense individuall
Optimize instrument performance and maintain specifications.
Needed by all
Very strict physical tolerances of glass for the most reproducible injections
Time tested Agilent proprietary deactivation
Individually packaged
Part number on liners for easy identification liners often look alike
Traceable by lot codes for quality assurance
Pre-cleaned and conditioned for GC or GC/MS use
Outgassing of contaminants can interfere with results
Especially important for trace, ECD and MSD work
Plasma treated for a non-stick contaminant free surface
Liner often breaks during maintenance if O- ring sticks to the liner and inlet
O-ring residue on inlet means much more extensive maintenance
Packaged for both convenience and cleanliness
Novel dial pack keeps O-rings clean
Presents 1 O-ring at a time
A GC inlet with a stuck septum was once a common, unexpected maintenance job
But when using Agilent Premium Non-Stick Inlet Septa!
Agilent uses a proprietary plasma treatment -- tested to ensure no contamination, unlike competitor who use a powdery foreign substance that may contaminate the inlet
Old (and competitors ) seal machined part wit radial grooves found to be a source of air leaks
Agilent Seal metal injection molded with consistently smooth surface no radial grooves
Consistent seal (no grooves)
Less air into system means less column bleed and higher sensitivity
Longer life columns
Agilent Gold Seal kit PN 5188-5367 includes the washer
Often overlooked during inlet maintenance
Function is to collect analytes and contaminants in split vent effluent
It needs to be replaced on a regular basis, usually every six months -- or more often if
Typically work with samples that are 'high boilers'
Have a higher than average split rate
Throughput a high rate of samples
Dirty traps can constrict flow causing
sample discrimination
retention time drift
contaminate EPC (electronic pressure control)
components resulting in a very expensive service call
When selling industry leading Agilent J&W GC columns, do not forget these essentials .
Capillary column ferrules
complete offering of sizes with selection of graphite, optimized
15% graphite/ 85% vespel blend, or 100% vespel
Preconditioned MS interface (long) ferrules
Convenient dial pack keeps ferrules clean and easy to
GC Column nut selection includes universal, finger tight, and MS interface (long) nuts
Brighten sample prep for HPLC, GC and MS analysis
Serves as bench top storage between use
Full offering 0.5 ul to 50 ml with a variety of fixed, removable or luer lock needles
Accuracy and precision as expected from Agilent Technologies
