Format: On-demand

This webinar discusses how to properly transition your method from helium to hydrogen carrier gas, along with consumables that you may want to consider changing as well, such as using a HydroInert source or switching to smaller diameter columns. The presenters also talk about underutilized available ways to make your gas last, such as using Gas Saver. And finally, they go over tips and tricks on how to speed up your overall analysis method, to help ensure high sample throughput and maintain data integrity. 

By viewing this presentation you will:

  • Learn how to speed up your GC (MS) method
  • Learn how to translate GC (MS) methods from helium carrier gas to hydrogen
  • Gain a better understanding of strategies and recommended columns and supplies that can be implemented to speed up your GC(MS) method and what is necessary to translate a method to a different carrier gas
