5987A GC/MSD with HES
5987A GC/MSD
If your lab has barely enough time to run samples each day, then you cannot afford to wait for recalibration and downtime. The Agilent 5987A lets you do more with less, maximize throughput, and scale effortlessly. Ensuring accuracy and reducing downtime are easier when your system can check for leaks, detect issues, and walk you through repairs. The 5987A incorporates the new GC Assist intelligence, expanding capabilities that did not exist until now. Reducing waste and conserving natural resources are no longer optional for labs. The 5987A uses GC technology to meet sustainability goals and improve efficiency, helping you achieve your desired business outcomes.

Product Details
- GC Assist monitors system health and data quality and steps you through any troubleshooting on the GC/MS or through remote secure connections
- Extended Range (ER) detector provides an order of magnitude improvement in dynamic range and a three-fold increase in electron multiplier lifespan
- Higher scan speeds of up to 25% ensure proper definition of even the narrowest peaks, and improve spectral library search quality
- Heated, quartz-based hyperbolic quadrupoles deliver long-term tuning stability and faster readiness after maintenance
- MassHunter Acquisition 14.0 includes GC/MS Method Optimizer that automates and optimizes methods, improving efficiencies and reducing the need for manual review
- Dynamic SIM (dSIM) automates SIM time segments, maximizing dwell time, improving sensitivity and peak shape
- Simultaneous dSIM/Scan performs dSIM with a simultaneous scan, providing low level SIM analysis with library searchable data
- Quick Vent ensures a controlled, rapid pump-down, and fast vent of the vacuum system to shorten maintenance times
- Retention Time Locking (RTL) precisely matches the retention times after maintenance or between Agilent GC or GC/MS systems
- Combined with the IDP-4 pump, the 5987A can reduce energy consumption by up to 40%
- Independently audited for environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle and received My Green Labs ACT (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) label
