For full product characterisation, multiple GC analyses are often required, involving different temperature programs and complex data integration afterward.

Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions introduces the new temperature programmable Secondary Oven, which expands the capabilities of the Agilent 8890 GC. With this solution, laboratories can perform multiple GC analyses simultaneously without the need to invest in an additional GC system and software license.

Fully integrated secondary GC oven

The Secondary Oven is fully integrated into the workflow of the Agilent 8890 GC and is controlled directly from the GC system. The temperature of the Secondary Oven can be programmed completely independently, allowing the primary GC oven and the Secondary Oven to run two different temperature programs simultaneously.

The analytical results from both the primary GC and the Secondary Oven are automatically merged into a single data file. This simplifies reporting and makes data processing more efficient.

Versatile configuration options

The Secondary Oven is a fully functional GC oven with versatile configuration possibilities. The system can be connected to the Agilent 8890 GC via a transfer line, but it can also be equipped with its injector and/or detector. In that case, no additional transfer lines are required.

Benefits of the Da Vinci LS Secondary Oven

  • Simultaneous dual analysis with one Agilent GC
  • Independent temperature programming alongside the primary GC oven
  • Full integration of system parameters and data into a single method
  • Flexible configurations, including MSD, LSV or ALS, injector, detector, transfer line, and methanizer
  • Compact and cost-efficient solution without investing in a second GC and software license

By combining the Agilent 8890 GC with the new Da Vinci LS Secondary Oven, laboratories can double GC capacity, increase throughput, and create more flexible configurations without investing in an additional GC system and software license.
