A | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Agilent Technologies has introduced accessories designed to reduce unscheduled downtime and inefficiency in typical analytical workflows resulting from running out of carrier gas for gas chromatography (GC) or time lost searching for the correct size syringe.

Agilent said its new Low-Gas Alarm gas-management system is a device that alerts the GC operator before a gas cylinder becomes empty and shuts the instrument down. In addition to causing unscheduled downtime, an empty gas cylinder can also destroy the column and cause loss of sample (and associated sample prep time) and additional maintenance.

The system provides both audible and visual alerts to a low-gas condition before the instrument runs out of gas, at a user-defined pressure set-point.

Agilent also introduced general-purpose laboratory syringes. Suitable for dilution, internal standard addition, extraction sample transfer and other analytical tasks, the syringes are color-coded by volume, so operators know at a glance which syringe they are using.

Agilent is a measurement company and a technology provider for communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis.
