Secondary Oven doubles the capacity of the Agilent 8890 GC
For complete product characterization, multiple GC analyses with different temperature programs are often required, after which the data must be integrated.
Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions introduces the new Secondary, which doubles the analytical capabilities of the Agilent 8890 GC. With this solution, laboratories can perform multiple GC analyses simultaneously, without the need to invest in an additional GC system and associated software license.

Fully integrated secondary GC oven
The Secondary Oven is fully integrated into the workflow of the Agilent 8890 GC and is controlled directly from the GC system. The temperature of the Secondary Oven can be programmed completely independently, allowing the primary GC oven and the secondary oven to execute two different temperature programs simultaneously.
The analysis results of both the primary GC and the Secondary Oven are automatically merged into a single data file. This simplifies reporting and makes data processing more efficient.
Versatile configuration options
The Secondary Oven is a fully-fledged GC oven with versatile configuration options. The system can be connected to the Agilent 8890 GC via a transfer line, but can also be equipped with its own injector and/or detector. In that case, no additional transfer lines are required.
Advantages of the Da Vinci LS Secondary Oven
- Simultaneous dual analysis with one Agilent GC
- Independent temperature programming alongside the primary GC oven
- Full integration of system parameters and data into a single method
- Flexible configurations, including MSD, LSV or ALS, injector, detector, transfer line and methanizer
- Compact and cost-effective solution without investment in a second GC and software license
With the combination of the Agilent 8890 GC and the new Da Vinci LS Secondary Oven, laboratories can double GC capacity, increase throughput, and set up configurations more flexibly without investing in an additional GC and software license.
