Quartz – Gold – Hyperbolic and Beautiful!
Why quartz?
Much more than just a beautiful piece of glass
– Low coefficient of linear expansion
(expansivity; α)
• dL = α L0 dt [t = ºC; dL = change in
length (m); L0 = length at 0 ºC]
Why gold?
– Inert material with excellent electrical
properties for high voltage
Why hyperbolic?
– Ideal electrical field is generated by
hyperbolic surfaces (NOT ROUND)

Key features of “Direct Communication” between
7890B and 5977A
Sleep/Wake mode
• Sleep mode saves power (320W  190W)
 Lower lab operating cost
Safety Control
• If 5977A MSD pump fail, 7890B will shut off the gas supply
 Helium carrier gas : gas waste is eliminated
 Hydrogen carrier gas: risk of explosion is reduced
Cool Down MSD Faster (FastVent)
• When MSD Vent Cycle started, GC will cool down MSD analyzer at the
optimum gas flow to MSD.
 40% faster when cooling down from 280C to 100C (< 25 min)

5977A GC/MSD IDL Specification
IDL is a statistically derived value from the precision (%RSD) of 8
consecutive, splitless injections of 100fg OFN at 99 % confidence
level. The more precise instruments (lower %RSD) will generate lower
IDLs.
The Agilent 7890B/5977A with an ALS or CTC autosampler has the
following specifications:
Ion Source type
High Vacuum pump type
IDL of OFN by 8 replicates of ALS*
Extractor Source
Turbo Pump
10fg
Turbo Pump
24fg
Diffusion Pump
30fg
Inert Source
These are installation specification, performed on customer site, immediately
after installation and carry a lot more value than a reference specs.
*Systems without an Autosampler will have only S/N specification.
25
January 15, 2013
Why IDL specification is useful for the 5977 in SIM?
Influence of Noise in S/N specs
•
In SIM (or MS/MS) when the Noise is too low, such as during acquisition of
an OFN standard, S/N results may not give the best characterization
•
If the noise level is insignificant - varies a lot and too low- the derived value
from it (S/N) also becomes insignificant
Value of IDL
•
IDL is derived from reproducibility/precision results, the same metrics most
users utilize every day in their work. The IDL statistical process is the same
used for Method Detection Limit calculations, and the %RSD values are tools
to monitor analytical performance
•
IDL characterizes the whole system – AS, GC, MS- giving confidence in
overall reliability. It is the results of 8 consecutive injections, unlike S/N in a
single shut, which can be influenced by many parameters/conditions
26
January 15, 2013
The Influence of the low Noise on S/N values
Same Data File, RMS, 5 Second Noise Region
A 0.01 min. shift in the noise region resulted a 6000 higher S/N value.
When the noise is insignificant (low), the derived S/N value is also insignificant!
Noise region: 5.65min - 5.73 min
S/N: 10785
