This document introduces a family of MSD-based GC/MS systems to meet analytical business needs. It includes the MSD ChemStation software for instrument control and data analysis. The software offers various features to improve productivity. Additionally, it supports controlling multiple GC and MS detectors, with a maximum configuration of four detectors.
The Agilent 5973 Network family of Mass Selective Detectors (MSDs) represents enhancements to the HP5973 MSD, offering state-of-the-art performance and reliability for analytical laboratories. These systems are designed to meet specific analytical and financial needs, providing reproducible and legally defensible operation.
The instruments can operate in electron impact ionization (EI) mode as well as positive and negative chemical ionization (PCI, NCI) modes.
One ChemStation can be configured with a maximum of two MS detectors.
No, the software does not have to be placed right beside the GC/MS instrument(s) being controlled.
