Improve productivity and flexibility for multi-class pesticide analyses
Agilent Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) allows GC and GC/MS operators to make reliable, leak-free capillary connections. Many CFT devices also enable backflush, which can reduce sample preparation and downtime by preventing heavy contaminants from reaching the analytical column and detector.
CFT can be used confidently and reliably in demanding applications like the analysis of trace-level pesticides in spinach. This methodology can also be converted to hydrogen carrier gas by adding a HydroInert source and by adjusting column dimensions.
Detect and quantify trace impurities in hydrogen fuel
Hydrogen gas is emerging as a promising source of clean, renewable, and sustainable fuel. Around the globe, hydrogen-fueled vehicles including cars, buses, and trucks are increasing in popularity.
