Enable Hydrogen Carrier Gas Selections without Compromising GC/MS Performance

Recent helium shortages have become acute in many regions, resulting in price increases, and even stopped shipments. These shortages jeopardize the operations of labs that depend on gas chromatography. Hydrogen (H2) being a low-cost and easy to procure gas is a good alternative to helium, however, owing to its non-inert nature, it causes unwanted reactions in the MS source. The Agilent HydroInert source addresses this problem and is ideal for labs that are considering hydrogen but are worried about analytical limitations. HydroInert allows you to:n.

• Prevent work stoppages caused by insufficient helium supplies
• Reduce sensitivity loss and spectral anomalies
• Achieve faster, shorter separations
• Minimize downtime caused by system maintenance and ion source cleaning.
