Use of OXYVITAL PSA Nitrogen Generators as Carrier Gas in Gas Chromatography (GC)

Use of OXYVITAL PSA Nitrogen Generators as Carrier Gas in Gas Chromatography (GC)

Gas Chromatography (GC) is a widely used technique for separating and analyzing components in the gas phase across industries such as chemistry, pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, food safety, and petrochemicals. In this process, nitrogen (N₂) is commonly used as a carrier gas to transport and separate samples with precision.

OXYVITAL PSA Nitrogen Generators provide a continuous source of high-purity nitrogen, enhancing the reliability, accuracy, and reproducibility of analyses in gas chromatography.

Applications of PSA Nitrogen Generators in Gas Chromatography

1. Use of Nitrogen as Carrier Gas

• Nitrogen is used in the GC column to transport and separate the sample.

• Offers a cost-effective alternative to helium as a carrier gas.

• Provides stable flow rates and low diffusion coefficients, optimizing the separation process.

2. Use of Nitrogen in Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Analyses

• In analyses where gas chromatography is coupled with mass spectrometry (MS), nitrogen is used as an inert carrier gas for detector systems.

• Ensures ionization stability, supporting highly sensitive analyses.

• High-purity nitrogen reduces background noise and interferences in GC-MS systems.

3. Use of Nitrogen in Pharmaceutical and Environmental Analyses

• Provides a reliable and inert environment as a carrier gas in the analysis of pharmaceutical components.

• Optimizes the separation of organic and inorganic compounds in air and water sample analyses.

• Ensures detector sensitivity with high stability at low pressures.
