How do you identify and order the parts you need quickly and easily, while minimizing downtime and maximizing lab productivity? Read on to get the answer.

Customized barcodes simplify inventory management and reduce errors

It’s important to keep track of Agilent J&W GC columns, Agilent Ultra Inert liners, and syringes installed in your GC. That’s why Agilent offers barcode scanning capability with Agilent data systems such as OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition and GC/MS MassHunter Software. Barcoding lets you keep an electronic record of your consumables inventory, with periodic updates available, as well. Figure 1 illustrates some of Agilent’s barcoding options.

Agilent Parts Finder is just one route to locating the parts and supplies you need to keep your GC operating at peak capacity and performance. Now order your copy of the Agilent GC and GC/MS columns and supplies catalog, featuring over 600 pages packed with full product details, images, and applications. Prefer a digital experience?
