8697 Headspace Sampler
Based on the flagship Agilent 8890 GC and 7697A headspace sampler, the Agilent 8697 headspace sampler is the first Agilent headspace sampler with integrated GC communication. That means you can manage your GC workflows from a single interface and spend more time on what matters.
With the 8697 Headspace Sampler, you get the results you need when and where you need them. Designed with advanced hardware features, such as the microchannel-based EPC module with atmospheric pressure compensation and valve-based sampling, the 8697 delivers unprecedented precision and performance. These features combine with the integrated intelligence found in Agilent 8890, 8860, and Intuvo 9000 GCs, plus remote accessibility through the browser interface of those systems. That means you can get instrument status updates wherever you are, inside or outside the lab.
