Parker PEM Hydrogen Generators Is your lab wasting money on bottled gas?

Relative to helium as the GC carrier gas, hydrogen from a gas generator reduces gas costs, cuts analysis time by 50%, and reduces temperatures needed for eluting analytes — which increases column lifetime. Parker ChromGas® hydrogen generators are safe, convenient, reliable, and easy to use.

Helium supply deflates, gas prices rise quickly

Supply issues are popping up with helium, but so far have had limited impact on industrial and contract buyers. The shortage is being traced to plants in the Middle East and Africa—one in Qatar and two in Algeria—that had been offline as well as domestic supply problems.

Faster DHA Analyses Using Helium or Hydrogen

Rtx®-DHA columns are highly stable and can be run with helium or hydrogen under accelerated conditions. Restek has developed a new DHA method using Rtx®-DHA columns with hydrogen that can double refinery sample throughput.
