Windows 7 Chemstation Upgrades

Data System Upgrades for HP 5971, HP 5972 and HP 5973 Mass Spectrometer, Agilent 6890 GC and GCMS.

CSS Analytical Eighty-X Win7 ^(c) for all of your Hewlett-Packard, HP and Agilent GC Mass Spectrometer Systems. Upgrade your old, out-of-support GC/MS system to a modern PC with Windows 7 (XP Pro still available ... for now) and Modern Chemstation(c).

Here's how our upgrade package works:

The first Dos Windows based Chemstation came out in the early 1990s. Every time Microsoft rolled out a new Windows product, Hewlett-Packard ("HP" back then) would revise their Chemstation software. And on each major revision, they took the opportunity to remove support for older MS systems. This was their way of persuading you to "retire" your old mass spec system and buy a new one.

Our upgrade products follow two different paths. 1. For currently UN-Supported instruments - that is instruments (GC MS systems) that HP/Agilent will no longer support.... 5970s, 5971s, 5972s, 5988s, 5989s. And 2. For currently Supported instruments.... 5973s, 6890s and newer.

For currently Un-Supported Instruments (HP 5970, 5971, 5972, and 5973 soon):

Since 1990 we have been studying and modifying the HP/Agilent Chemstation and every time they changed it - we'd put the support for old mass specs back in place. We've have had a very successful business for 23+ years. The "hacks" that we add to Chemstation are necessary for you to run your mass spec on Windows 7 are ours and can be found NO WHERE ELSE in the world (sole source justification). Over the years, some of our competitors copied our work but when we went to the XP upgrade we engaged an Anti Piracy Key and since then it has held up perfectly, keeping our IP safe. Our upgrade is distributed on our own CSS built preloaded PC with backup image and emergency boot/recovery CD Rom. Our quality PC will be pre-configured, ready to plug in and deploy. In some (vary rare) cases, your GC-MSD may need newer boards. Contact us for details if you have a very old MSD.

For currently Supported Instruments (HP / Agilent 5973):

We have a package of easy to follow instructions and hardware that Agilent no longer offers in "kit" form. Go directly to our 5973 Lan Upgrade page and our 6890 Lan Upgrade page.

Why make this investment ?

Upgrade your old, out-of-support GCMS systems to a modern PC with all the bells and whistles ... one (or more) big Hard Drives, a DVD burner, lots of USB ports, modern Chemstation and Microsoft Windows 7. Have your older HP MSDs running on a screaming fast PC in less than an hour. Bring your perfectly good 10 to 15 year old mass spectrometer into the modern era and allow it to run another five to ten years.

All for a fraction of the price of a new system.
