Perkin Elmer Clarus SW 8 GCMS Vs Agilent 7820A/5975E GCMS

[shivaexportsindia]

We are looking to buy (Agilent 7820A GC and 5975E GC/MSD) But some experts suggested (Perkin Elmer CLARUS SW 8 GC/MS).

My application is "Essential Oils", "Aromatic Compound Analysis" etc.

Can anyone please suggest which one is better by experience ?

I will be very thankful for their help.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Will you please explain if it is better for essential oils applications? Do you have this machine ?

We need to buy new GCMS for our labs, we have 2 options: [a] Agilent – 7890B GC and 5977A MS[/b] and Perkin Elmer – GC-MS Model Clarus SQ8 with HST. My question is which needs less maintenance and more robust – after sales support is a challenge here.

I have never used a PE GC/MS but some Agilent ones. According to me, the Agilent GC/MS is rather robust by itself, the software is also friendly and strong. About after sales care at your location, I think you know better.

I think it is better that you buy the Agilent one for exemple GC 7890 A system
and the MS connected to this equipment. We have already bought one and the software is so
familiar for us. What are methods that you will use?

Unless you are analysing for contaminants and pesticide residues at low concentration, essential oils analysis does not require low limits of detection and quantitation (high sensitivity). A wide dynamic range, ease of use and long intervals between maintenance are more useful criteria than high senitivity.
