Abstract:
Helium supply problems and price increases have again impacted analytical chemists’ ability to run high resolution gas chromatography methods. Until new sources of helium can be found, laboratories can continue operation by combining two techniques; conversion to alternative carrier gases and conservation of helium resources. This presentation will discuss when and how to use alternative carrier gases and when helium is required, new technologies to continue helium use with automated conservation.
