Harnessing the Efficiency of Nitrogen Carrier Gas with the Atmospheric Pressure Gas Chromatography (APGC) Source
24 Mar 2018Helium is the most commonly used carrier gas in gas chromatography, however, finite reserves results in periodic price increases and concern of availability. Nitrogen is a more affordable alternative. This application note highlights the ease of implementing nitrogen as a replacement carrier gas for helium in GC separations, illustrating a cost-effective approach for atmospheric pressure MS sources, while maintaining critical separations and chromatographic performance.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
