Hydrogen Carrier Gas for Fast GC

Join PEAK Scientific’s, Dr Ed Connor, as he discusses the considerations of switching from helium to hydrogen for your GC carrier gas. Talking you through the benefits of a gas generator for your lab, as well as the considerations to make during the conversion process.

You will come away with the knowledge needed to convert your carrier gas supply to a more sustainable alternative.

Key Learning Objectives

• The main benefits of using hydrogen as a carrier gas as opposed to helium or nitrogen
• The benefits of an in-house gas generator as opposed to cylinders or dewars
• Considerations that need to be taken into account when switching carrier gas
