Translating GC Methods from Helium to Hydrogen Carrier Gas

VIEW ENTIRE TUTORIAL HERE AND BECOME A LITE MEMBER

CHROMacademy presents a definitive guide in translating your GC methods for use with Hydrogen Carrier. The impact of global Helium supply issues on Gas Chromatography methods is studied and the use of hydrogen as an alternative carrier gas is considered. A balanced discussion on Hydrogen safety is presented, alongside method translation, including all of the important method and instrument parameters to ensure retention, selectivity and resolution are maintained. The use and limitations of hydrogen carrier with mass spectrometric detectors is also discussed.
