990 Micro GC 2-Channel and 4-Channel System
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC provides fast and accurate results in minutes for gases and compressed liquids.Configurable with up to four channels and various options, this gas chromatograph is designed for compositional analysis down to low ppm levels, running continuously and/or autonomously.
Its very small footprint makes the 990 Micro GC the perfect solution for labs that are monitoring processes or gas streams at-line or on-line.
The 990 Micro GC offers:
- Much lower power and carrier gas consumption compared to conventional GCs
- Less material waste due to smaller size and advanced technology
- Reduced shipping distances
- Sustainable, recycled product and packaging content
- End-of-life take-back incentives to ensure proper recycling
Additional Information
Manufacturing Impact Reduction
必威体育登录手机The Shanghai, China facility that manufactures Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems for the US, EU, and UK markets has implemented initiatives to reduce its energy and water consumption within the last 5 years.These initiatives include vacuum capacity improvement projects, implementing off-peak demand reduction initiatives, and installing RO and DI water treatment systems at the facility to reuse water on-site.
Renewable Energy Use
必威体育登录手机The Shanghai, China facility that manufactures Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems for the US, EU, and UK markets utilizes a solar photovoltaic system to produce renewable energy.The solar panels have an estimated annual offset of 269 tonnes of CO2e.
Responsible Chemical Management
必威体育登录手机The Shanghai, China facility that manufactures the Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems has implemented robust EMS policies including ISO 14001 certification.必威体育登录手机Additionally, the Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems do not utilize any chemicals of concern and are Eu RoHS compliant.
Shipping Impact
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems are manufactured in Shanghai, China.必威体育登录手机For the US market, the systems are distributed via Agilent's distribution center in Memphis, TN.必威体育登录手机For the EU and UK markets, the Agilent systems are distributed via Agilent's Waghäusel, Germany distribution center.
Product Content
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems consist largely of steel containing approximately almost 90% recycled content, aluminum, and electronic components.必威体育登录手机Therefore, the overall Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems contain greater than 20% sustainable content by weight.
Packaging Content
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems' packaging consists largely of a cardboard boxing containing 66% recycled content, EPE foam containing 60% recycled content, and a polyethylene bag.必威体育登录手机Therefore, the overall Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems' packaging contains greater than 60% sustainable content.
Energy Consumption
The energy consumption of the 990 Micro GC Systems was tested using the following methodology and parameters.It was assumed these units run 24 hours a day.
- Three Channels Utilized
- Column Temperature: 60°C
- Injector Temperature: 110°C
- Sampleline Temperature: 110°C
- Initial Pressure: 150 Kpa
- Inlet Temperature: 80°C
Packaging End-of-Life
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems' packaging consists largely of a cardboard boxing, EPE foam, a polyethylene bag, and polypropylene board.Across the US, EU, and UK markets the carboard boxing is readily recyclable, while the EPE foam, polyethylene bag, and polypropylene board are recycled, incinerated, or landfilled depending on available infrastructure.
Water Consumption
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems do not consume water during the use phase.
Lifetime Rating
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems are estimated to have a useable lifetime of 10 years.
Product End-of-Life
必威体育登录手机Agilent has an active take-back program for its customers in the EU, UK, and US markets for its 990 Micro GC Systems.必威体育登录手机Furthermore, Agilent encourages its customers to return the product at end-of-life by offering an incentive where the product can be traded-in for a refurbished model, new model, or a cash / credit balance.
Innovative Practices
必威体育登录手机The Agilent 990 Micro GC Systems feature electronic pneumatics control (EPC) modules that allow for the use of an alternative carrier gas as opposed to the standard carrier gas, Helium.This has environmental benefits as helium is considered a non-renewable resource.Furthermore, the use of MEMS and Chip Based Detectors reduces gas consumption, material use, and space use.
