Price and cost of ownership of Agilent 7890B 7010B Triple Quadrupole GC TQ System with 7693 Autosampler

Investing in an Agilent 7890B GC with 7010B Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer and 7693 Autosampler is a strategic decision for laboratories requiring advanced sensitivity, selectivity, and high-throughput GC-MS/MS performance. While a new system typically costs around $350,000, certified refurbished units average approximately $140,000, offering substantial capital savings without compromising analytical capability. Refurbished 7890B/7010B systems undergo comprehensive reconditioning, rigorous performance verification, and are often backed by warranty and technical support, ensuring dependable operation comparable to new instruments. This configuration delivers powerful MRM-based analysis for complex matrices, making it an ideal solution for labs seeking cutting-edge performance with a more cost-effective investment.

The Agilent 7890B 7010B: Trusted by Leading Universities and Government Agencies

The Agilent 7890B GC with 7010B Triple Quadrupole MS and 7693 Autosampler is widely recognized for its role in advanced research and regulatory testing environments. At Michigan State University, the Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core leverages this platform for metabolite profiling, contaminant analysis, and small molecule quantitation, supporting both targeted and untargeted workflows in biomedical and environmental studies. Similarly, regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) utilize triple quadrupole GC/MS systems for the analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in air and water, enabling detection of pollutants at ultratrace levels. With its high sensitivity, robust MRM-based quantitation, and automated sample handling, this configuration remains a powerful and trusted solution for laboratories addressing complex analytical challenges across academic, environmental, and industrial applications.

Analytical Methods Supported by GC-MS/MS: EPA OTM-50, ASTM D7363, AOAC 2007.01

The Triple Quadrupole GC/MS System with Autosampler is ideally suited for analytical methods that require ultra-trace quantification and exceptional selectivity in complex matrices. It supports advanced workflows such as EPA Method OTM-50, which utilizes GC-MS/MS for sensitive detection of volatile and semi-volatile organic pollutants in air. The system is also applicable to ASTM D7363 for the precise determination of oxygenates in gasoline, where enhanced signal-to-noise ratios improve accuracy. In food safety applications, AOAC Official Method 2007.01 leverages GC-MS/MS for multi-residue pesticide analysis, while programs like the FDA Pesticide Residue Monitoring Program rely on triple quadrupole systems for accurate screening of contaminants in agricultural products. The inclusion of an autosampler improves reproducibility, consistency, and throughput, making this configuration a dependable solution for high-demand regulatory and routine analytical laboratories.
