Sensitive GC/MSD system has high efficiency ion source

A new tandem gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer has lower detection limits than other instruments in its class, according to the manufacturer. The system, the Agilent 5977B High Efficiency Source (HES) GC/MSD System, includes a new high-efficiency ion source that makes it possible to detect pollutants and contaminants at previously undetectable levels. In addition, the system will allow scientists to use smaller sample volume, spend less time on sample preparation, reduce instrument downtime, minimize solvent usage, and reduce the environmental impact of GC/MS analysis.
