Agilent Electron Capture Detector (ECD) Parts

The Agilent micro ECD is the most sensitive on the market, with a detection zone volume 10 times smaller than any other ECD. The replaceable liner serves as a physical stop for the column, ensuring reproducible column installation and decreasing column contamination of the cell.

The only assembly that requires routine maintenance is the glass liner in the makeup gas assembly, especially for the µECD. All sample passes through the indent in the mixing liner of the µECD. The mixing liner should be replaced if there is a significant loss of sensitivity or any time the column is removed/reinstalled in the detector.
