The Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System with a split/splitless (S/SL) inlet and flame ionization detector (FID) is a modern gas chromatography platform developed for high analytical performance, precise chromatographic control, and simplified maintenance. The Intuvo system uses direct column heating rather than a conventional oven, allowing faster heating and cooling, more efficient analytical workflows, and reduced energy consumption.
The offered system is equipped with a split/splitless (S/SL) inlet with electronic pneumatic control (EPC) and a flame ionization detector (FID). The Intuvo 9000 platform also supports configurations with TCD, ECD, NPD, FPD, and SCD/NCD detectors, as well as single- and triple-quadrupole mass spectrometers.
The patented Click-and-Run connection and Smart ID Key technology simplify chromatographic column replacement, identification, and setup. Ferrule-free connections help minimize the risk of leaks, while the Guard Chip protects the analytical column from contamination and helps extend column lifetime. Precise pressure control, automatic leak checking, and integrated diagnostics support reliable operation in both routine and research GC applications.
