The next evolutionary step for our trusted single-channel GC

GC analysts worldwide have relied on the Agilent 6850 GC for outstanding performance and rugged reliability in a compact size. Now, the Agilent 8850 GC builds on that legacy by adding new features that simplify life inside⁠—and outside⁠—your lab.

The 8850 is the smallest high-performance benchtop GC available, taking just half the bench space of traditional instruments. It combines powerful intelligence features with a compact footprint, while enabling even novice users to diagnose common problems and perform extended maintenance and troubleshooting. So, you can minimize downtime and maintain your lab’s reputation for providing on-time, dependable results.

What’s more, the 8850 GC uses familiar consumables and software, making it easy to transition from the 6850 with minimal training and method development effort.

Work smarter, not larger

The 8850 GC is equipped to make a big impact on productivity. How? By increasing uptime, reducing sample turnaround time, and advancing your lab’s ability to deliver reliable answers.

  • Compact size. The 8850 GC has a similar footprint as the Agilent 6850 GC, yet it delivers the same performance of the Agilent 8890 GC.
  • Redundancy. With a footprint about half that of traditional instruments, you can have two 8850 GC systems running simultaneously without sacrificing valuable bench space.
  • High performance. Featuring the same EPC, inlets, and detectors found in the 8890 GC, the 8850 GC delivers the same unparalleled repeatability, precision, and sensitivity.
  • Fast GC. A small, precisely designed air-bath oven enables fast temperature ramps and short cool-down times.
