Frequently asked questions

Can the 5973N be controlled remotely?

Yes, the system allows control from a Local Area Network (LAN) or via a Local Control Panel (LCP).

What ionization techniques can the 5973N perform?

The 5973N can perform electron ionization (EI), positive chemical ionization (PCI), and negative chemical ionization (NCI).

What is the length of the independently heated GC/MS interface?

The independently heated 17-cm interface is one of the shortest on any mass spectrometer.

How many samples can be automatically injected with just the autosampler tower?

Up to eight samples can be automatically injected with just the tower.
