So You Want to Switch from Helium to Hydrogen Carrier Gas?

Event Overview: Helium is the go-to carrier for most gas chromatographers, but staying with this tried-and-true option may be costing both time and money as well as separation efficiency. Today, with the high cost and scarcity of helium, the alternative hydrogen or nitrogen carrier gases have become much more attractive. Nitrogen is an obvious choice. Suitable N2 is readily available from laboratory gas generators, is completely inert, and has about the same flow characteristics as helium. However, hydrogen offers a number of advantages over nitrogen: better efficiency, lower pressure drop, and higher purity. In this webcast we will explore reasons for the deprecation of helium, and then we will examine the relative merits of each of these three primary GC carrier gases. How do requirements for carrier cost, time, efficiency, and safety come together in your lab? Please attend this event to learn more.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Why you should consider switching away from helium as your GC carrier gas
• The relative merits of helium, hydrogen, and nitrogen as carrier gases, in terms of cost, time, efficiency, and safety
