Data Sheet
The Agilent 5977B Series Gas Chromatograph/Mass Selective

Detector (GC/MSD) builds on a tradition of leadership in GC and
MS technology, with the world’s best performance and productivity
features including:
• Revolutionary High Eficiency Source (HES) offers the industry’s lowest Instrument Detection Limit (IDL) and best S/N
• Up to 10x increase in MS signal brings the future into today’s single quadrupole laboratory
• Leverage increased MS sensitivity to reduce sample size and lower operating costs for transportation, storage, preparation, and
waste disposal
• Industry-leading robustness and reliability ensure years of successful lab productivity
• The power and lexibility of both MassHunter Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis and Classic MSD ChemStation
• Enhanced communication between the GC and MSD for more eficient and safer operation
• Eco-friendly features save time and money
