This document describes the application of the Agilent Technologies 6890/5973 inert gas chromatography/mass selective detector system in semivolatiles analysis. The system is designed for fast analysis while minimizing the impact of active compounds and maintaining linearity and sensitivity.
This document describes the performance of the Agilent Technologies 6890/5973 inert gas chromatography/mass selective detector (GC/MSD) system for analyzing semivolatiles. The system is designed to meet the demand for lower minimum detection limits (MDLs) while maintaining linearity and sensitivity for active compounds.
The note details a specific method using a 100-um id column with a run time of 7.5 minutes and a calibration range of 5-200 ng. It compares the performance of the inert system against a standard Agilent 5973 system, highlighting improvements in response for active compounds and linearity across the calibration range.
