Agilent FID MDL test sample 3x0.5 ml ampoules 5188-5372

The Agilent FID MDL test sample (part 5188-5372) is a prepared method detection limit (MDL) standard supplied as three 0.5 mL ampoules for use with Agilent 7890 gas chromatographs fitted with an FID. Each ampoule contains a mixture of n-tridecane, n-tetradecane, n-pentadecane and n-hexadecane at defined low concentrations in iso‑octane to support FID sensitivity checks, MDL determinations, and routine GC/FID (and GC/MS) performance verification. The product is intended for instrument qualification, method validation and periodic performance monitoring.

Key Features:

• Manufacturer part number: 5188-5372.
• Packaging: 3 × 0.5 mL sealed glass ampoules.
• Analytes and concentrations: n-Hexadecane 23.6 mg/L; n-Pentadecane 23.6 mg/L; n-Tetradecane 2.36 mg/L; n-Tridecane 2.36 mg/L.
• Solvent/matrix: iso-octane (as supplied).
• Intended technique: GC & GC/MS; specifically listed for Agilent 7890 FID use.

Advantages:

• Provides trace-level, pre-measured standards to verify FID sensitivity and support MDL determinations for compliant instrument qualification.
• Single-use sealed ampoules reduce contamination risk and preserve concentration integrity for repeatable performance checks.
• Formulated analyte set (C13–C16 n-alkanes) matches typical FID response checks, simplifying routine GC/FID performance verification.
