New High-capacity Headspace Sampler -XL Tray
Agilent Technologies Inc has unveiled an upgraded version of the Agilent 8697 Headspace Sampler, featuring a 120-vial capacity tray, a significant increase from its predecessor’s 48 vial capacity. This new sampler also boasts enhanced instrument intelligence capabilities, improving its uptime and making it more user-friendly for operators. The Agilent 8697 -XL Tray and the 8697 offer advanced features that outperform the 7697A Headspace Sampler.
“Labs that run headspace GC systems know that if they encounter problems during a sequence, and the vials are punctured, they may have to rerun or recollect samples. The 8697 and now the 8697 Headspace Sampler -XL Tray virtually eliminate that problem. The complete GC headspace system checks to ensure that the system and data quality are up to SOP standards, avoiding recollection of samples and reruns,” explained Mike Zhang, Vice President and General Manager of Agilent’s Gas Phase Separations Division.
Equipped with advanced instrument intelligence, the 8697 Headspace Sampler -XL Tray eliminates downtime and enhances productivity by continuously monitoring its operation and guiding operators through various troubleshooting and maintenance procedures. The system performs automated checks such as leak checks, early maintenance feedback (EMF), and self-diagnostics, ensuring the system is primed for use. Furthermore, the system verifies the quality of control samples, guaranteeing the highest level of data accuracy and eliminating the need for sample reruns. All of these steps are presented in a step-by-step format on the GC touch screen, making it easy for operators to follow.
Transitioning to the new high-capacity 8697 Headspace Sampler -XL Tray is seamless and straightforward, with no need for method redevelopment or modifications to existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) from previous models such as the 7697A or the 8697 Headspace Sampler. The sampler also provides increased method flexibility, allowing for the use of alternate carrier gases thanks to the separation of vial pressurization and sample loop.

Advanced Solution for Independent Digital Maintenance and Qualification of Chromatographic Systems
Regular maintenance of chromatographic systems is intended to ensure that the instruments operate at optimum efficiency and that the separation of substances meets the highest standards. However, the maintenance of chromatographs means a high financial outlay for many labs, as it is usually carried out by the equipment manufacturers. In addition to scheduling agreements, a lot of documents and data have to be exchanged between the user and manufacturer sides – resulting in confusing paperwork and organisational efforts.
In order to make maintenance more cost- and time-efficient, AnaTox GmbH & Co KG has added a new feature to its proven AIQ Tool. The qualification software now also allows a standardised maintenance procedure for all system components, which brings significant cost advantages for equipment maintenance. The software automatically recognises the components of the system and lists the corresponding maintenance steps and associated tests. The guided process subsequently reduces downtimes to a minimum. The condition before and after maintenance is clearly documented and digitally stored. With the AIQ Tool, laboratories see themselves in a position to maintain and qualify their chromatographic environment independently and vendor-independently via a single software.
An additional advantage of the tool is the reading of the chromatograph wear counters. This data helps customers track how often the equipment has been used and how heavily certain components have been stressed. Likewise, the implemented tests can also be used individually for fault diagnosis. In this way, it is possible to order and stock spare parts in a timely manner and at a lower cost, so that replacement can be carried out quickly without having to wait a long time for a technician.
