Agilent HP Model G2350A Atomic Emission Detector (AED)

The Agilent HP G2350A Atomic Emission Detector (AED) is a breakthrough, second-generation accessory designed for Agilent gas chromatographs. Unlike conventional detectors, the AED provides element-specific detection across nearly the entire periodic table, excluding helium, making it one of the most versatile analytical tools available. With picogram-level sensitivity, multi-element detection in a single run, and superior selectivity, the G2350A is the only commercially available GC detector capable of delivering true elemental profiles in complex mixtures. Whether used for organo-metallic analysis, environmental testing, or pharmaceutical impurity profiling, it brings a level of precision and power unmatched by other GC detectors.

At HiTechTrader, we believe advanced analytical capabilities shouldn't come with prohibitive costs. That's why we offer refurbished and pre-owned Agilent G2350A AED units that have been rigorously tested for performance and reliability. Every detector is carefully inspected and functionally validated, so laboratories gain high-quality elemental analysis at a fraction of the cost of new systems. This allows research teams and facilities to expand their capabilities confidently, without stretching their budgets.
