Capabilities
- Mass range - between 1.6 and 800 amu in 0.1 amu steps.
- Scan speed - max of 5200 amu/sec with 0.1 amu resolution.
- Sensitivity - Typical performance for 1pg of Octafluoronaphthalene yields a signal to noise ratio of better than 20:1 at scan mass range 50-300 amu.
- SIM mode - monitors up to 30 masses at a time. Up to 50 groups of 30 masses.
The HP 5973 is the workhorse of the mass spec world with unmatched reliability and service support. DATU's Stationware GCO software works seamlessly with the Chemstation MSD software allowing simultaneous GCO sniffing with GCMS identification. Splitting of the column effluent is achieved using a Gerstel 3D/2 zero dead volume precision splitter mounted in the GC oven. Using variable length and I.D. retention gap tubing at the splitter allows the user to vary the split ratio while maintaining precise retention time agreement at both the sniff port and MSD. Wiley and NIST mass spec libraries available with Chemstation software make spectrographic identifications of odor-active compounds faster and more efficient than ever before. |
