Description
Hewlett Packard HP 5890 Series II Gas Chromatograph – Multi-Voltage | 250W Max | Laboratory GC System
The HP 5890 Series II is a gas chromatograph designed for separating and analyzing components of complex mixtures using a carrier gas and narrow flow-through column. The unit separates chemical constituents based on their interaction with the column's stationary phase. This instrument features multi-voltage capability (100, 120, 220, 240 VAC selectable) and 250W maximum power, suitable for toxicology, drug screening, food safety, forensics, petrochemical analysis, and general chemical research.
This instrument is widely used across multiple industries for toxicology testing, drug screening, food safety, forensics, petrochemical analysis, and general chemical research. Both the HP 5890 Series II and Series II Plus models are known for their robust design and proven performance.

Questions buyers ask
What certification or inspection status does it carry?
The listing states that the unit meets 21 CFR 1040 laser safety compliance requirements, but does not indicate whether it has undergone recent calibration, performance verification, or electrical safety testing. Most labs require documented calibration verification and performance qualification (often including linearity, repeatability, and detection limit testing) before placing a used GC into service, so request any available calibration certificates or test reports from the seller.
What should I inspect before putting it into service?
Inspect the column oven for even heating and temperature stability, verify injector and detector functionality, check all pneumatic connections and septa for leaks using a leak detector, and test the data system interface if included. On instruments of this age, the injector septum, column ferrules, detector seals, and electronic boards are common failure points, and the carrier gas regulator and flow controllers should be tested for pressure stability and response.
