Rising Above the Helium Shortage

Download the white paper 'Can Hydrogen Gas Generators Replace Helium for Gas Chromatography?' to learn about global helium gas shortages and how this issue can be addressed.

The white paper will:

Outline the challenges of today’s helium market and helium’s importance for multiple applications, including GC
Assess the various options to help alleviate helium shortages, such as using replacement gases
Discuss hydrogen’s suitability as a replacement gas, and look at benefits and drawbacks for GC users
Address the myths around using hydrogen gas in a lab setting, and compare high-pressure gas cylinders vs. gas generators
Describe how hydrogen gas generators can be an effective solution to supply GC carrier gas
Look at key considerations to help you determine if hydrogen gas generation is a good fit for your GC needs, from the standpoint of cost/ROI, convenience, reliability, and sustainability

White paper overview

In the face of recurring global helium gas shortages, scientific, medical, industrial, and consumer activities that rely on helium gas have felt the impact. Helium users are facing rising prices, supply chain interruptions, and in some cases, have had to shut-down operations.

GC users are sometimes finding themselves at the end of the line compared to major helium applications such as MRI scanners, lifting gas, leak detection, and welding. To address these shortages, GC laboratories have begun looking at possible replacement gases and new approaches to help obtain the carrier gases needed to continue their work. One of the most promising options is using gas generators to provide a steady supply of hydrogen gas as a replacement for helium.

Although some concerns—and some myths—persist about using hydrogen, it offers multiple benefits and advantages over helium, notably particularly when a gas generator replaces high-pressure gas cylinders. The safety, convenience, availability, purity, analysis run times, and low cost of hydrogen gas generators can provide an excellent solution for many GC facilities and applications.
