This document describes how Agilent's products meet the requirements of WEEE/RoHS/ELV
Agilent Technologies provides measurement solutions to help laboratories comply with international regulations such as WEEE and RoHS. These directives restrict the use of hazardous substances like heavy metals and brominated flame retardants in electrical and electronic equipment.
The document details how specific Agilent instruments address these requirements. The Agilent 6890 Gas Chromatograph and 5975 Mass Selective Detector (MSD) are highlighted for analyzing brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs). Additionally, the Agilent 7500 Series Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) is presented as an optimal solution for quantifying heavy metals like Cadmium, Mercury, and Chromium at the low limits required by these standards. This manual is written in German.
| Mass range (MSD) | up to 1050 Dalton |
|---|---|
| Ion source temperature (MSD) | up to 300°C |
| Quadrupol temperature (MSD) | up to 150°C |
The Agilent 6890/5975 Inert GC/MSD combination and the Agilent 7500a ICP-MS system are recommended for analyzing BFRs and heavy metals.
The Agilent 5975 MSD allows operation up to 1050 Dalton with accurate mass assignment.
