Abstract:
Obtaining helium for use as a carrier gas in GC and GCMS systems remains an ongoing challenge. The scarcity of helium supply is compelling laboratories to reconsider not just their analytical approaches but also the procedures of their instruments.
While various substitute carrier gases are applicable to numerous methods, there are situations where helium stands as the sole choice. As operators of these instruments, it becomes imperative for us to grasp the spectrum of possibilities at our disposal. Proficiency in understanding diverse carrier gas alternatives, comprehending the advantages and disadvantages inherent to each gas, and being equipped with strategies for scenarios when helium is the exclusive alternative, all play a pivotal role.
