Hydrogen, commonly used as a carrier gas instead of Helium for gas chromatography (GC) can be supplied via cylinders or by the electrolysis of water using an in-house generator containing metallic electrodes or an ionomeric membrane. An in-house generator can provide a significant increase in safety and convenience with a reduction in operating costs.
