SIM offers safe alternative to helium use in analytics

Problems with the helium supply have already led to considerable price increases in recent years. At present, the situation regarding the finite resource helium is visibly worsening. In addition to the already known geopolitical problems (e.g. in Qatar), the Ukraine war is now adding to the tense situation.

H2

One solution for gas chromatography laboratories is the use of hydrogen as a carrier gas. This sustainable and good alternative has the additional advantage of enabling even faster analyses with comparable sensitivity. Despite these advantages, however, hydrogen also has a decisive disadvantage: there is a safety risk in the event of a leak, which can cause a highly explosive hydrogen-air mixture to form in the GC oven chamber!

You can eliminate this disadvantage with the SIM hydrogen sensor: For safe work in the laboratory, the SIM sensor constantly measures the hydrogen content in the GC oven air. In the event of a leak, the carrier gas is automatically switched to inert gas, thus eliminating the risk of explosion. More information about the hydrogen sensor can be found here.
