Analysis of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Using Hydrogen Instead of Helium as a Carrier Gas for GC/MS.

Hydrogen is great choice of carrier gas for GC due to faster run times compared to using nitrogen or helium with no reduction in resolution. In fact, resolution is normally improved. On-demand hydrogen generation offers an analytically superior, cost effective and safe solution over and above cylinder fed helium. A Parker gas generator, meets all necessary requirements needed to perform the analysis of low level Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons by GC/MS, with many distinct advantages over helium carrier gas.

On-demand hydrogen generation allows for faster run times, reduced costs, and increased reliability and safety versus traditional helium cylinders.

Benefits of Using Helium as a Carrier Gas:

• Shorter run times – a saving of over 5 minutes

• Increase in sensitivity – important for trace level analysis

• Less peak tailing of later compounds – important for peak integration

• Near baseline resolution of later co-eluting peaks
