STANDARD OR SENSITIVE GAS GENERATORS TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS F-DGSI WILL PROPOSE YOU THE RIGHT MODEL FOLLOWING THE LIMIT OF DETECTION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN YOUR GC RESULTS.

THIS IS WHY F-DGSI OFFERS A "STANDARD GAS GENERATOR" AS WELL AS A "SENSITIVE GAS GENERATOR" FOR HIGH PURITY GRADE ANALYSIS SOLUTION.

4 STANDARD OR SENSITIVE GAS GENERATORS TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS F-DGSI WILL PROPOSE YOU THE RIGHT MODEL FOLLOWING THE LIMIT OF DETECTION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN YOUR GC RESULTS. AT THE LOWER EXTREMES OF DETECTION ACCURATE RESULTS CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED WITH THE LOWEST POSSIBLE BASELINE. CREATING SUCH A BASELINE REQUIRES THE USE OF ULTRA PURE GASES. THIS IS WHY F-DGSI OFFERS A "STANDARD GAS GENERATOR" AS WELL AS A "SENSITIVE GAS GENERATOR" FOR HIGH PURITY GRADE ANALYSIS SOLUTION. THE H2 AND N2 GENERATORS ARE AVAILABLE IN TWO SOLUTIONS (STANDARD AND HIGH PURITY GRADE PURITIES). FOR MOST GC DETECTORS LIKE FID, THE STANDARD PURITY GAS IS SUFFICIENT BUT FOR CARRIER GAS USE, HIGH PURITY GRADE GAS IS RECOMMENDED.

5 GET ALL THE BENEFITS OF THE H2 GENERATOR AS CARRIER GAS INSTEAD OF HE Eliminate the risks in using Hydrogen as a Carrier Gas in GC Analysis Hydrogen has long been considered as the best carrier gas for gas chromatography. In many cases hydrogen has become the carrier gas of choice since it results in fast analysis, high efficiency,reduced costs, and prolonged column life. Fast analysis The diffusion rate of hydrogen and helium are roughly the same (both 3-4 times faster than N2), but hydrogen is half as viscous as helium and therefore the linear gas velocity is higher and retention times are shorter in isothermal analysis. High efficiency Hydrogen has the flattest Van Deemter curve. Compared to helium and nitrogen, hydrogen needs the lowest plate number to achieve the same resolution over a large range of linear velocity Prolonged column life For some applications, a temperature program can be used to speed up the analysis when using helium as a carrier gas, but this may result in a shorter lifetime of the column due to higher temperatures. Reduced costs Helium, a rival to Hydrogen has its advantages as a carrier gas for GC; but it also has key disadvantages which are cost and availability. A tank of GC quality hydrogen is approximately 3 times less expensive than its helium equivalent. The price disparity between the two will not improve as the existing helium reserves are drying up and the demand is increasing across different industries. The use of a hydrogen generator also provides long term cost savings. A hydrogen generator allows for the production of the gas on an as needed basis; which avoids the costs associated with storing gas. The F-DGSi H2 generator was designed to have a high level of operator safety Unique 9 stage, fail safe, explosion protection system. Automatic internal/external H2 leak detection. Patented gas/water separator electronically controlled Very small stored volume of H2 H2 gas is only generated on demand If still worried, H2 sensor in option for carrier gas use WITHOUT ANY RISK! The sensor will continuously monitors the atmosphere in the GC oven and transmits the data to the hydrogen generator. When the hydrogen concentration detected exceeds the threshold of safety, the hydrogen generator will be automatically blocked and reported audible and visual alarms. The oven is immediately shut off and the cooling flap opens. Theoretical Plate Height (mm) Van Deemter Curves Nitrogen Hellium Hydrogen Linear Velocity (cm/sec)
