The cost and availability of helium is becoming increasingly challenging for labs, that can lead to a disruption to analysis. It’s becoming a real headache for analysts, and the situation is not going to improve! Using hydrogen as a carrier gas is a tried-and-tested way to alleviate this problem. Markes’ award-winning Multi-Gas enabled thermal desorbers use hydrogen carrier gas (along with both nitrogen and helium, if you prefer), and when coupled with your GC–MS overcome the problem we’re seeing with helium...
