Detectors (MSDs) are turbo pump MSDs. This document will
refer to the 5973N MSD or 5973 inert MSD as 5973 Series MSD
unless otherwise noted.
The 5973 Series MSD system consists of:
• 5973N or 5973 inert MSD
• Optional 59864B vacuum gauge controller (required for CI
operation)
• Gas Chromatograph
6890 Series GC, with options for MSD use
7683 Automatic Liquid Sampler (optional)
• PC and MSD ChemStation software
Refer to your MSD ChemStation documentation for
additional information
Table 1 lists possible configurations for the 5973 Series MSD.
