HydroInert source designed for Hydrogen carrier gas applications
Helium (He) is a finite, expensive resource. On the contrary, hydrogen (H2) is a low cost, renewable gas and the best alternative to He for GC/MS. The new Agilent HydroInert source prevents disruptions due to He shortages without compromising spectral fidelity, and it avoids undesirable in-source chemistry associated with H2 carrier gas. The source minimizes loss in sensitivity and offers superior high-boiler peak shape, especially for PAHs. An example is the analysis of nitrobenzene that is known to have problems with hydrogenation.
