Agilent Base plate, VGA77 AA hydride module 1/pk 7010017200

The Agilent Base plate for the VGA‑77 AA hydride module is a manufacturer‑specified component intended for use with the VGA‑77 vapor generation accessory. Manufacturer and authorized distributor descriptions state the VGA‑77 hydride module incorporates the plumbing manifold and a gas‑liquid separator and that the hydride module is removable to enable change‑over between determinations of hydride‑forming elements and mercury. The VGA‑77 system is described as enabling rapid trace‑level determinations of mercury and other hydride‑forming elements at parts‑per‑billion (µg/L) concentrations using vapor or hydride generation with sodium borohydride as the reducing agent.

Key Features:

• Designed for use with the Agilent VGA‑77 vapor generation accessory (AA hydride module)
• Hydride module incorporates the plumbing manifold and gas‑liquid separator
• Hydride module is interchangeable / easily removed for element change‑over
• Accommodates space to hold sample and reagent bottles within the module
• Supports generation of volatile metal hydrides using sodium borohydride as reducing agent

Advantages:

• Interchangeable hydride module design enables fast change‑over between element determinations and reduces downtime
• Separate hydride module use for mercury reduces cross‑contamination risk as stated by the manufacturer/authorized distributor
• Integrated plumbing and gas‑liquid separation simplify setup and operation of hydride generation for trace analyses
• Supports rapid, continuous‑flow operation for trace (ppb) determinations as described by the manufacturer
