Additional Information
Manufacturing Impact Reduction
The Delaware, USA facility that manufactures the Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs has implemented measures within the past five years to reduces its energy and water usage. Examples of such initiatives include an LED lighting retrofit which is estimated to save over 1,755 MWh, installation of low-flow fixtures and dual-flush toilets, and installation of a rainwater capture system.
Renewable Energy Use
The Delaware, USA facility that manufactures the Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs does not currently utilize any renewable energy.
Responsible Chemical Management
The Agilent Delaware facility that manufactures the Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs has implemented policies and procedures to understand, manage, and communicate on hazardous chemistries throughout the value chain. Suppliers must ensure their raw materials comply with Agilent's General Specification for the Environment (GSE) which screens for hazardous chemistries such as EU REACH SVHCs and Proposition 65 chemicals. Further, the Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs are EU RoHS compliant and the Delaware manufacturing facility is ISO 14001 certified.
Shipping Impact
For the U.S. market, the Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MS is manufactured in Delaware, USA with its corresponding distribution center located in Memphis, TN. For the EU and UK markets, the Agilent 7000E and 7010C Series GC Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectroscopy system is manufactured in Delaware, USA with its corresponding distribution center located in Ketsch, Germany.
Product Content
The Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs do not currently contain any sources of sustainable content.
Packaging Content
The Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs are shipped using corrugated cardboard cartons that contain 65% recycled material, and a polyethylene bag resulting in over 60% sustainable content in the packaging system.
Energy Consumption
The Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs energy usage represents the energy consumed while continuously running the equipment for 24 hours.
Water Consumption
The Agilent Series GC Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectroscopy Systems do not consume water during use phase.
Lifetime Rating
While the Agilent Value Promise guarantees that the Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs will last at least 10 years during its use phase, these products have an estimated lifetime of 15-20 years based on previous models on the products.
Packaging End-of-Life
The Agilent 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MSs are packaged using cardboard and a polyethylene bag. In the US, the cardboard is readily recyclable; while the plastic bag is recyclable, the infrastructure is not available in the majority of the market. In the US, Agilent is enrolled in the How2Recycle program to facilitate the communication of material recycling instructions. In select countries, Agilent participates in the EU/UK Green DOT Package Recycling Program to support the take-back and responsible management of the packaging materials at their end-of-life. In the remaining EU countries, the cardboard is readily recyclable while the plastic bag is recycled, landfilled or incinerated depending on the country and its available infrastructure.
Product End-of-Life
Agilent offers a take-back program for its 7000E and 7010C Triple Quadrupole GC/MS customers in US, EU and UK markets.
Innovative Practices
The Agilent 7000 Series GC Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectroscopy Systems offers a hydrogen-optimized configuration in which helium gas is replaced with hydrogen gas in the mobile phase of operation. Helium is considered less sustainable than hydrogen due to its non-renewable status. The hydrogen-optimized configuration therefore reduces the overall environmental impact of using the Agilent 7000 Series GC Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectroscopy Systems.
