Direct Probe sample analysis can be accomplished on the Agilent (HP) 5973 or 5975 MSD with the new Direct Probe and Probe Inlet System from Scientific Instrument Services. The probe inlet mounts onto the GC/MS transfer line port and uses an indexed probe introduction guide to permit the direct insertion and removal of the probe into the MSD source without venting the MSD or scoring the probe rod. The probe can be either heated ballistically at ramp rates in excess of 500 degrees per minute or can be temperature programmed with up to 14 ramp rate levels. The probe temperatures, ramp rates, hold times, start and stop are all PC controlled and fully integrated with the Agilent ChemStation software (G1701DA and below). This permits the storage of the probe analysis parameters in the sample data files and the method files.
