Product Details
- GC Assist monitors system health and data quality and steps you through any troubleshooting on the GC system or through remote secure connections
- Dual Simultaneous Injection capabilities expand application configurations and flexibility
- Optional oven light illuminates the internal GC oven, brightness is adjustable to fit users needs
- Color touchscreen display provides access to GC setpoint and status information, configuration, and signal plot to confirm that analyses are progressing as intended
- Physical Start, Stop and Prep Run buttons accelerate the users ability to perform manual injections
- Microchannel-based EPC provides reliability and longevity against gas contaminants such as particulates, water, and oils, extending system uptime
- Electronic Pneumatics Regulation (EPR) option provides simple manual operation with high-precision digital display and recording of pressure and flow
- Helium conservation module, Gas Saver, and alternative carrier gas solutions can dramatically reduce the amount of helium used
- Optional Hydrogen Sensor Module Series 2 continuously monitors for leaks in the GC oven and is fully integrated with GC Assist
- Retention Time Locking (RTL) precisely matches the retention times after maintenance or between Agilent GC systems
- Optional DA Express Data Analysis simplifies data analysis, integration, reporting, and calibration when significant data processing is not required
- Auto-ranging flame ionization detector (FID) provides the ability to detect and quantitate from percent levels to parts per billion (ppb) in a single GC injection
- Single-filament thermal conductivity detector (TCD) does not require a separate reference gas or manual potentiometer adjustment
- Independently audited for environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle and received My Green Labs ACT (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) label

Helium Conservation Module
A helium conservation module for 8890, 8860, 8850, or 7890 GC systems can drastically reduce your consumption of helium carrier gas and the associated cost, especially when used with Gas Saver. It can be programmed to switch to a different gas (typically nitrogen) when your GC is idle. The module is compatible with any inlet, backflush, and dual simultaneous injections.

Built-in GC Intelligence enables you to work smarter with autonomous monitoring, self-guided maintenance procedures, remote connectivity, and other time-saving features that can improve laboratory efficiency.
Learn MoreDA Express for 8860
For simple, routine GC applications that do not require extensive data processing capabilities or compliance support, Agilent DA Express for an Agilent 8860 GC provides simplified data analysis, and makes it easy to integrate signal data, build calibration curves, and create result reports.
Learn MoreRetention Time Locking (RTL)
Retention time locking (RTL) enables the retention times on one Agilent GC or GC/MSD system to be matched exactly on another like system using the same nominal column.
