The gold standard in quadrupole design and performance
The quadrupole used in the Agilent 5975C Series GC/MSD incorporates a combination of patented, proprietary Agilent technologies to deliver superior performance and significantly enhanced reliability.
The true hyperbolic quartz structure offers extremely low thermal expansion, and exhibits excellent dimensional stability. The unique design results in lower field errors versus round rod quadrupoles, as well as excellent resolution and mass axis stability, regardless of laboratory temperature fluctuations.
The submicron-layered gold hyperbolic electrode surfaces give maximum transmission while maintaining resolution across the full mass range, up to 1050 u. Bakeout to 200ºC enables more robust determinations, as well as outstanding high mass stability and minimal maintenance. An available high mass checkout kit provides added confidence that high mass is accurately reported.
Solid inert ion source up to 350? C boosts your system performance
Agilent’s proprietary inert source is now programmable up to 350?C to provide enhanced response for active compounds and late-eluters—including pesticides. It delivers exceptional electron impact ionization, and lets you run sample after sample with complete confidence. The source is constructed of a solid inert material, so there is no inert coating that can wear away over time— and which can ultimately compromise your data. The inert ion source eliminates surface activity reactions, for more reliable library matches. It also requires less frequent cleaning, improving your lab’s productivity.

Trace Ion Detection delivers a real performance improvement for complex matrices
Revolutionary Trace Ion Detection technology lets you lower your Method Detection Limit (MDL), as well as your limit of quantitation (LOQ). It reduces false negatives and further enhances the performance of the inert ion source at trace levels. The technology also ensures more reproducible baselines, dramatically reducing the number of manual interventions during peak integration. Trace Ion Detection technology gives you a better spectral fidelity, increasing your confidence level in the results when doing library matching.
High sensitivity AutoTune makes it easy to optimize system performance
Take the trial and error out of optimizing operating conditions by automating the process. The 5975C system’s AutoTune feature saves time, boosts performance and improves instrument-toinstrument consistency.
Powerful analytical capabilities improve results and productivity.
Fast electronics enhance performance and enable synchronous SIM/Scan
Fast electronics used in the 5975C Series GC/MSD maximizes signal transmission for fast GC/MS in full scan and Selected Ion Monitoring (SIM) modes. It also enables synchronous SIM/Scan functionality—without compromising analytical performance.
High-Performance Selected Ion Monitoring (SIM) and Full Scan
Agilent’s synchronous SIM/Scan functionality lets you capture SIM data and full scan data in the same acquisition. Because of the ease of setup and availability of spectral libraries, many labs use full scan for most of their data collection. SIM mode, on the other hand, offers a significant improvement in sensitivity over full scan data; however, SIM data cannot be searched against commercially available spectral libraries for match confirmation.
Now, with the 5975C system’s synchronous SIM/Scan operation, you can get both—in a single run! Even better, you don’t have to be a GC/MS expert to do it. Agilent’s AutoSIM software capability automatically converts full scan data into SIM or SIM/Scan acquisition parameters for use in synchronous SIM/Scan methods. SIM dwell times can be set in 1 msec increments from over 100 msec to as low as 1 msec dwell time.
CI as easy as EI
Chemical Ionization (CI) has long been considered an advanced GC/MS technique because of complex setups, reagent gas adjustment and ion source tuning. Now the Agilent 5975C inert GC/MSD makes CI as routine and easy as EI—without sacrificing the spectral information of EI. The dual inlet port configuration allows you to operate your CI system at optimum performance levels without having to constantly reconfigure. Methane is used to optimize the ion source and perform the mass calibration; a separate inlet port is provided for a second reagent gas, including ammonia. An intuitive software user interface and a CI flow control module work together to automatically adjust the CI reagent gas flow for optimum CI performance.
