The Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System with a split/splitless (S/SL) inlet is a modern gas chromatography platform designed for high analytical performance, precise control of chromatographic conditions, and simplified maintenance. The Intuvo architecture uses direct column-heating technology instead of a conventional oven, accelerating system heating and cooling, enabling analyses to be performed more quickly, and reducing energy consumption.
The offered configuration is equipped with a split/splitless (S/SL) inlet with electronic pneumatic control (EPC). The Intuvo 9000 supports configurations with FID, TCD, ECD, NPD, FPD, and SCD/NCD detectors or with a single- or triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer.
The patented Click-and-Run connection and the Smart ID Key simplify chromatographic column replacement, identification, and setup. Ferrule-free connections reduce the risk of leaks, while the Guard Chip protects the analytical column from contamination and helps extend its service life. With precise pressure control, automatic leak checking, and integrated diagnostic functions, the system provides a versatile solution for routine and research GC applications.
