This document introduces the features and characteristics of the upgraded products of the 5973Network gas chromatography-mass spectrometry series, including upgrade methods and performance characteristics after upgrade
The family of 5973Network MSDs provides flexibility to organizations by offering expanded configurations and the ability to upgrade from one configuration to another. This approach allows laboratories to select an appropriate configuration at purchase while ensuring their capital investment can be enhanced in the future.
Specific upgrades include extending flow rate capacity using a G1089A Turbo Pump Upgrade for instruments based on standard turbo pumps, and extending ionization modes using G1087A PCI Upgrade or G1086A PCI/NCI Upgrade to add chemical ionization capabilities.
These instruments are well-matched to chromatographic flow rates up to about 2 mL/min.
They are suitable for capillary columns with inner diameters of 0.100 mm, 0.200 mm, and 0.250 mm.
The G1087A PCI Upgrade product is used to add this capability to an existing EI instrument.
