Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Facility

Description

The Agilent 5977 B combines two powerful analytical tools: gas chromatography for the highly efficient gas-phase separation of components in complex mixtures, and mass spectrometry for the confirmation of identity of these components, identification of unknowns and quantification of small molecules.

It allows the analysis of small molecules in a wide range of sample matrices. This system can be operated in electron ionisation (EI), chemical ionisation (CI) modes and has a Headspace inlet.

It offers enhanced sample throughput and analytical performance and features improved sensitivity, reliability, and ease of use, ensuring high-quality results for complex sample matrices.
