Hewlett Packard 5890 Series II

5890 Series II

The HP 5890 Series II provides flexibility in choices among inlets, columns, and detectors through the use of liners and adapters, allowing any standard column to be used without sacrificing performance. Additional flexibility is gained through positions of inlets and detectors relative to each other and through the large internal volume of the oven. There are five inlet options and six detector, as well as a wide variety of flow and pressure control components.

Questions and Answers

reading not stable

our gc use capillary to detect low concentration of hydrogen sulfide. reading for sample not related with standard. reading standard also difficult to get stable data.

sample size

If you try to manually inject 0.2 microliters of the same chemical 3 or 4 times in a row, and your total area varies from ~220,000,000 to 120,000,000 - does this mean your sample size is larger one time than the next? What can I do?

unidentified peaks

I'm new to this so bare with me, I have 2 HP5890's and I'm having problems with peak identifications. I usually work with GC/MS with a NIST Library, but these units are FID. I understand about running standards to define retention times, but what about samples
