The 3900 GC is designed to be a simple to use and easy to maintain Gas Chromatograph. The 3900 is a single channel all electronic gas chromatograph. It may be equipped with either an 1177 split/splitless or a 1041 on-column injector and either an FID or a TCD detector. Optionally it may have liquid CO2 column oven cryogenics and an Ethernet communications option. Typically the only operator interactions with the GC are to turn on the GC, put vials into the Autosampler carrousel, change the Autosampler syringe when required, change the column when needed, and change the injector septum when needed.
Column dimensions, temperature limits, A/S position calibration and other configuration functions are entered through the 3900 keypad, methods can be built from the Star Workstation and downloaded either manually or as part of an automated SampleList or Sequence or they can be built from the keypad.
All electrical connections and carrier gas supply connections are made at the back of the 3900 GC.
