PALO ALTO, Calif., May 9, 2002 Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced the release of a new brochure titled "The Agilent 5000A Real-Time gas Analyzer," publication number 5988-5957EN. The brochure describes the applications and features of Agilent's new real-time gas analyzer (RTGA), which provides sophisticated, precise, and continuous monitoring of a wide range of components in gas streams -- all in a rugged, easy-to-operate package.
"New technologies, such as fuel cell development, have accelerated the need for real-time gas analysis," said Mona Burke, fuel cells market manager. "Understanding gas stream composition at various points in the fuel cell system is critical to efficient operations. Although other instruments can provide multi-component analyses for steady-state operations, the real-time gas analyzer is ideal for monitoring multi-component transients."
According to the brochure, real-time monitoring can also expedite the determination of volatile solvent residues in pharmaceuticals and can more efficiently monitor off-gas-stream components from reaction processes, even complex ones such as fermentation.
The brochure reviews not only the applications, but the features and capabilities of Agilent's new RTGA analyzer, including easy-to-use software that enables the user to import results into third-party spreadsheets, statistical analysis and modeling packages for off-line analysis.
The new instrument offers customers a real-time response as fast as 2 seconds for multiple components with sensitivity in the parts per billion range, and a typical dynamic range of four to five orders of magnitude. And the selectivity of this mass spectrometer -- capable of discriminating less than 1 amu -- provides confidence in each reported value and largely overcomes the compound/matrix interference often observed with other less selective detection systems.
