4 Reasons for using H2 as a Carrier Gas

1. Fast Analysis: Fast diffusion rate; 4 times faster than

N2

Half as viscous as helium; higher linear gas velocity and shorter retention times

2. High Efficiency: Flattest Van Deemter curve

4 Reasons for using H2 as a Carrier Gas

3. Prolonged Column Life: Some applications have a lower elution temperature, therefore the column life is longer

4. High Efficiency: 3x’s less expensive than its helium equivalent

Reluctant to use H2 as a Carrier Gas?

Hydrogen is an Explosive Gas: Undetected gas leaks can lead to

an explosion in the GC Oven
