Abstract:
Switching carrier gas from Helium to Hydrogen provides both cost savings AND performance improvement available to most GC applications. But with this comes an inherent EHS concern – what to do with cylinders of highly flammable gases? What if leaks in those high-pressure lines occur? Can’t GC ovens explode?! Onsite generation has provided a solution to much of these concerns – make only what you need, when you need it, and keep the pressure to a minimum. With water, air and electricity labs can produce all the H2, N2, Ultra-Zero-Air and O2 that they need. But how does it work? This short technical presentation will outline the common methods of purifying and delivering the right grade of air for various analytical applications including GC, LC, MS, FTIR, TOC & more. Bring your PPE and exploding GC stories!
