Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System G3950A

The Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC System (G3950A) is a benchtop gas chromatograph engineered for fast gas chromatography and high-throughput laboratory analysis, intended to simplify GC workflows and integrate with Agilent MS systems. It employs ballistic direct column heating and ferrule-free click-and-run connections to enable rapid temperature ramps and very fast column changes. Built-in intelligence — Smart ID Keys, Guard Chips and real‑time troubleshooting — reduces maintenance and provides guided diagnostics for improved uptime.

Key Features:

• Direct-heating oven: 30 °C to 450 °C with ramp capability up to 250 °C/min.
• Ferrule-free click-and-run column connections; columns can be changed in under a minute.
• Intuvo Guard Chip retention-gap technology and no-trim (maintenance-free) Intuvo columns.
• Typical energy consumption ~6.9 kWh per day under representative use conditions.
• Compatible with Agilent mass spectrometers such as the 5977, 7000, and 7010 series.

Advantages:

• Higher throughput and faster cycle times enabled by ballistic direct column heating.
• Reduced maintenance and column downtime due to Guard Chips and no-trim column design.
• Lower lab energy use and smaller footprint compared with conventional GCs, aiding lab sustainability.
• Simplified operation and fewer user errors through Smart ID Keys, touchscreen control and built-in diagnostics.
