Abstract:
The new Agilent 8850 GC combines the small formfactor of the classic 6850 GC with the modern technologies driving Agilent’s full-size 8890 GC to yield a single powerful chromatographic channel that is an excellent solution for ASTM D7504. This presentation will demonstrate the performance of the 8850 GC with D7504 through a conventional 40-minute separation using helium carrier gas and a faster 6-minute separation using hydrogen. Both approaches yielded outstanding precision and chromatographic performance when applied to benzene, toluene, and p-xylene standards. Method acceleration using the Agilent method translator and tips for using the Early Maintenance Feedback counters to increase instrument uptime will also be discussed.
