Abstract:
Disruption in the Helium supply chain continue to pressure analytical laboratories to find alternative solutions for their carrier gas requirements. Hydrogen can be an alternative but requires method modifications, re-validation, safety protocols and may not work with specific samples. When Helium is the best option, reducing consumption becomes mandatory. Thermo Fisher Scientific developed a new option for its Split/Splitless inlets, the HeSaver-H2Safer kit. HeSaver mode extends the lifetime of a He cylinder 350% by optimizing Helium consumption. The H2Safer mode ensures safe operation and optimizes the Hydrogen consumption - a benefit when using capacity limited Hydrogen generators.
