2 Market Situation The world of He supply is not reliable, prices are increasing and customers are seeking alternative carrier gases Agilent Restricted Page 2 2
3 The Carrier Gas Decision No Is the chemist willing to convert to alternative gasses? Yes GC Is the Application based on GC or GC/MS? GC/MS Does the current GC method have too much resolution? No Yes He Conservation Consider migration to N 2 Consider migration to H 2 GC/MS specific H 2 considerations Agilent Restricted Page 3 3
4 Migration to H 2 : Considerations for GC & GC/MS No Is the chemist willing to convert to alternative gasses? Yes GC Is the Application based on GC or GC/MS? GC/MS Does the current GC method have too much resolution? No Yes He Conservation Consider migration to N 2 Consider migration to H 2 GC/MS specific H 2 considerations Agilent Restricted Page 4 4
5 H 2 : Considerations for GC & GC/MS Application H 2 safety Sources of hydrogen Plumbing modifications Chromatographic method migration Method revalidation Agilent Restricted Page 5 5
6 H 2 Safety GC, GC/MS: Both offer H 2 enabled features Agilent H 2 safety letter and safety manuals available GC four levels of safety design Safety Shutdown Flow Limiting Frit Oven ON/OFF Sequence Explosion Test Newer version 6890, 7890 GC and 5773, 5975 MSD offer greater safety than older versions of GC and GC/MSD. Agilent Restricted Page 6 6
7 Source of Hydrogen H 2 Generator preferred Very clean H 2, > % available More consistent purity Built-in safety considerations Make sure to buy a good one with a low spec for water and oxygen Parker s H-MD are used in LFS and SCS H 2 Cylinder Consider gas clean filter Possible to add safety device Agilent Restricted Page 7 7
8 H 2 : Plumbing Modification Considerations Tubing: Use chromatographic quality stainless steel tubing Do not use old tuning (H 2 is known as scrubbing agent) Especially don t use old copper tubing (brittleness is a safety concern) Venting: Connect split vent and septum purge vent to exhaust Leak checking: Recommend G3388B leak detector Agilent Restricted Page 8 8
9 Migration to N 2 for GC Application No Is the chemist willing to convert to alternative gasses? Yes GC Is the Application based on GC or GC/MS? GC/MS Does the current GC method have too much resolution? No Yes He Conservation Consider migration to N 2 Consider migration to H 2 GC/MS specific H 2 considerations Agilent Restricted Page 9 9
10 Use N 2 as carrier gas Many HPI methods suited to nitrogen Readily available and less expensive gas No safety concern Suitable for simple routine analysis (w. enough resolution) 2-D GC ideally suited to nitrogen Resolution issues solved by using 2 different columns Potential issues Reduced separation resolution Not suitable for GC/MSD and certain GC detector applications Agilent Restricted Page 10 10
11 Helium Carrier Gas Alternatives Hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, argon/methane Detector considerations can influence choice Hydrogen and nitrogen are the most common alternatives 11
12 Helium Carrier Gas Alternatives Important Theoretical Considerations Relating To Peak Efficiency Calculating Efficiency Efficiency & Carrier Gas Linear Velocity Start Inert Gas Solute t m t ' R t R Let's relate n to the length of the column. Plates per meter (N) = n L Time or L Height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) = n We would like to know the actual time the component spends in the stationary phase. n = Thus, the more efficient the column, the bigger the "N" the smaller the "HETP. t ' R t R ' = t - R t m = Corrected Retention Time. n = effective theoretical plates. t ' R W h 2 HETP MOLECULAR DIFFUSION HETP = A + B { } } µ ( opt µ) B µ + C µ C RESISTANCE TO MASS TRANSFER A EDDY DIFFUSION Efficiency is a function of the carrier gas linear velocity or flow rate. The minimum of the curve represents the smallest HETP (or largest plates per meter) and thus the best efficiency. "A" term is not present for capillary columns. Plot of HETP versus linear velocity is know as the Van Deemter plot. The linear velocity value at the minimum of the curve is the optimum value for achieving the best efficiency. 12
13 Helium Carrier Gas Alternatives Let s Make This Easy Calculating Efficiency Efficiency & Carrier Gas Linear Velocity Start Inert Gas Solute t m t ' R t R Let's relate n to the length of the column. Plates per meter (N) = n L Time or L Height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) = n We would like to know the actual time the component spends in the stationary phase. n = Thus, the more efficient the column, the bigger the "N" the smaller the "HETP. t ' R t R ' = t - R t m = Corrected Retention Time. n = effective theoretical plates. t ' R W h 2 HETP MOLECULAR DIFFUSION HETP = A + B { } } µ ( opt µ) B µ + C µ C RESISTANCE TO MASS TRANSFER A EDDY DIFFUSION Efficiency is a function of the carrier gas linear velocity or flow rate. The minimum of the curve represents the smallest HETP (or largest plates per meter) and thus the best efficiency. "A" term is not present for capillary columns. Plot of HETP versus linear velocity is know as the Van Deemter plot. The linear velocity value at the minimum of the curve is the optimum value for achieving the best efficiency. 13
14 Helium Carrier Gas Alternatives Let s Make This Easy Goal: change carrier gas while keeping other method conditions the same use the same column use the same oven program adjust column flow or holdup time velocity to: same peak elution order same peak retention times For N 2, test resolution of key components adjust GC conditions (temp, flow) if needed Easier method revalidation minimal changes to timed integration events minimal changes to peak identification table Use tools built into the Agilent Chemstation to guide us through the process 14
15 The Tyranny of Van Deemter Why Nitrogen Gets a Bad Rap for Capillary GC HETP (mm) N 2 C 17 at 175º C k' = 4.95 OV m x 0.25 mm x 0.4µ He Nitrogen 58 cm/s 2.4 ml/min Helium 58 cm/s 2.5 ml/min Hydrogen 58 cm/s 1.7 ml/min.6.4 H Average Linear Velocity (cm/sec) R = 1.17 R = 1.37 N 2 actually provides the best efficiency, but at a slower speed Most helium methods have too much resolution Lower N 2 efficiency at higher flows can still provide good enough resolution Most GC methods now use constant flow N 2 efficiency losses with temp programming are not as severe 15

38 If You MUST Use Helium Consider Conservation No Is the chemist willing to convert to alternative gasses? Yes GC Is the Application based on GC or GC/MS? GC/MS Does the current GC method have too much resolution? No Yes He Conservation Consider migration to N 2 Consider migration to H 2 GC/MS specific H 2 considerations Agilent Restricted Page 38 38
39 Reduce Helium Consumption 7890 GC Gas Saver reduces split flow to conserve helium consumption Leak checking Turn off the system to avoid long term idle Not always recommended for some GC columns or traps Agilent Little Falls Site was able to reduce consumption by 50% Agilent Restricted Page 39 39
40 Summary Migrating your GC method from helium carrier gas can be easily done For resolution critical methods, H 2 offer the best alternative Agilent GC and GC/MS systems have many built-in safety features For many GC applications, N 2 offers a cheap, easy alternative without any safety worries Most existing helium methods have too much resolution N2 can be used without changing any of the existing GC conditions keep the holdup time the same as the original method 2-D methods have high resolution built-in, so N 2 is ideally suited as a carrier gas Valve-based or Deans switch, not GCxGC If helium alternative is not an option, consider conservation 40
