Multimode inlet (MMI)
The Multimode Inlet (MMI) for the 7890B gas chromatograph (GC) increases the analytical capability of the system.
- Inject large volumes of sample and split away the solvent. Dramatically increase the sensitivity.
- Inject thermally labile compounds at a cool temperature, even sub ambient temperatures, and then ramp quickly to transfer to the column. Good sensitivity and peak shape for challenging compounds.
- Inject using standard split or splitless techniques. No need to redevelop a working method.
The injection technique that is used for a method can be tailored to the compounds. Using the MMI the GC can meet current analytical needs and provides flexibility to meet future regulatory requirements.
The Multimode Inlet provides the flexibility of a standard Agilent split/splitless inlet, combined with temperature programmable capabilities that allow for large-volume injection.
