Hydrogen Carrier Gas Cylinders vs Gas Generator: Best Choice for GC Labs Explained
Hydrogen has emerged as one of the habitually used gc carrier gases in present day laboratories. It has a high diffusivity and low viscosity, as well as an optimal linear velocity that supports faster separations without losing its resolution. Hydrogen allows shorter run times and better shapes due to a higher peak compared to helium or nitrogen, and this is particularly useful where more peak is required, e.g., pharmaceutical quality control, environmental testing, petrochemical analysis, and in academic research laboratories.
