Carrier and Reagent Gas Requirements

Table 6 lists the specifications for the carrier and reagent gases. Pressures and flows are as measured at the bulkhead fittings on the back of the instrument, not at the gas supply. We recommend that additional shut-off valves be installed near the instruments.

Table 6	Carrier and reagent gas requirements

		Purity	Typical pressure range,	Typical flow, mL/min
			kPa (psi)

Helium (required)		99.9995% or better and	345 to 550 (50 to 80)	20 to 50 (column and split flow)
		hydrocarbon-free

Methane reagent gas		Research or SFC grade,	103 to 172 (15 to 25)	1 to 2
(required for CI operation)		99.999%

Isobutane reagent gas		Instrument grade,	103 to 172 (15 to 25)	1 to 2
(optional)		99.99%

Ammonia reagent gas		Research or SFC grade,	34 to 55 (5 to 8)	1 to 2
(optional)		99.9995%

Carbon dioxide reagent gas		SFC Grade,	103 to 138 (15 to 20)	1 to 2
(optional)		99.995%

	WA R N I N G	Methane is flammable and ammonia is corrosive and toxic. Read and follow the
