1Introduction

Where to Find Information

In addition to this document, Agilent provides several

learning products that document how to install, operate,

maintain, and troubleshoot the Agilent 7890A GC.

Before operating your GC, be sure to read the safety and

regulatory information included on the Agilent GC and

GC/MS Hardware User Information & Utilities DVD. The

most common safety hazards when working on the GC are:

•Burns caused by touching heated areas on or in the GC

•Release of pressurized gas containing hazardous chemical

compounds caused by opening inlets

•Glass cuts or puncture wounds caused by sharp capillary

column ends

•Use of hydrogen as a GC carrier gas

Online User Documentation

Now your Agilent instrument documentation is in one place,

at your fingertips.

The Agilent GC and GC/MS Hardware User Information &

Utilities DVD that ships with your instrument provides an

extensive collection of online help, videos, and books for

current Agilent gas chromatographs, mass selective detectors,

and GC samplers. Included are localized versions of the

information you need most, such as:

•Getting Familiar documentation

•Safety and Regulatory guide

•Site Preparation information

•Installation information

1Introduction

Chromatography Using a GC

Chromatography is the separation of a mixture of

compounds into individual components.

There are three major steps involved with separating and

identifying components of a mixture using a GC. They are:

1Injecting a sample into the GC. (This takes place at the

inlet.)

2Separating the sample into individual components. (This

takes place inside the column in the oven.)

3Detecting what compounds were in the sample. (This is

done in the detector.)

During this process, status messages from the Agilent 7890A

GC are displayed, and user changes to parameter settings

can be made through the operating panel.

Each part of this process is described in brief on the

following pages of this document. Refer to the Advanced

User Guide for more details.
