Why is a hydrogen generator from Peak safer than a cylinder? - Case Study
Hydrogen generators from Peak are the safest and most convenient method of supplying high-purity carrier and detector hydrogen gas to GC instruments. We were recently contacted by a service engineer from Wasson-ECE, a Peak reseller in Singapore. Wasson is a value added partner for Agilent GC systems, selling Agilent GCs with Peak Precision generators for carrier and detector gas. Peter Tran ...

Hydrogen Leak Detection with OGI
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) is a proven technology for locating hydrogen leaks in nuclear and conventional power plants. OGI can improve plant safety during routine operations and reduce revenue lost to downtime during major overhauls. A recent study by Bruce Power found that OGI cameras could be effective in reducing plant downtime that costs over $1 Million USD per day. Most ...

Hydrogen cylinders are a potential safety risk in the laboratory
Can a laboratory which uses hydrogen gas cylinders ever be considered safe? We look at some of the safety concerns of having hydrogen cylinders in the lab in light of recent tragic events and how a hydrogen generator is a safer solution for providing hydrogen for laboratory applications. In December 2018 a hydrogen cylinder used at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc) exploded. The ...

Use Precision Hydrogen Generators as a Centralized Gas Supply Solution
Learn how to use your Peak Precision Hydrogen generator as centralized gas solution. Overview As laboratories are increasingly under pressure to streamline their operations, a reliable, consistent, stable, and safe supply of gases for applications such as gas chromatography (GC) or mass spectrometry (MS) has never been more important. Nowadays, round the clock sample analysis is commonplace, ...

How to change your lab gas from cylinder helium to on-site hydrogen gas generation
1. Gas Source Helium is becoming increasingly expensive with reports of its price having doubled in some regions between 2013 and 2015. Added to its increased price, supply cannot be ensured in certain regions which is increasing the number of labs looking to change to hydrogen. Hydrogen generator: A hydrogen generator providing carrier grade hydrogen (99.9999%) such as the Peak Scientific ...

GC/MS analysis of a complex sample in DCM using hydrogen carrier gas
Summary Labs worldwide have recently found that helium has been in short supply, leaving a number of labs without carrier gas. Added to this, helium prices have doubled over the past 10 years causing a number of labs to look into alternative carrier gases for GC, such as nitrogen and hydrogen. As well as lower price and unlimited availability, hydrogen has a number of potential advantages over ...

Hydrogen Safety (Standard and Trace Analysis)
Many laboratories are now prohibited from placing Hydrogen cylinders on their premises owing to health and safety restrictions. A Peak Scientific Precision Hydrogen Trace generator is a safe alternative to gas cylinders whilst providing pure carrier gas (99.9999% purity, moisture free), in quantities great enough to supply a number of GCs simultaneously. The Risks and Considerations of Hydrogen ...

Hydrogen carrier gas for total petroleum hydrocarbon analysis
Many labs are facing helium supply difficulties and rapid price increases as a result of the helium shortage. Lab managers are therefore looking for alternative carrier gases and for many GC applications, hydrogen provides an excellent alternative to helium. Using a hydrogen generator can supply gas to a whole lab and at the same time remove the danger of storing hydrogen in the lab. Laboratories ...

Detect Hydrogen Gas and Flames
Under day-to-day conditions, people cannot see, smell, or taste the presence of hydrogen gas. Hydrogen, however, is very flammable and requires only a small amount of energy to ignite. In fact, if leaking from a pipe at a high enough pressure, hydrogen gas can self ignite without the aid of an external energy source. Working together, gas detectors and optical flame detectors can quickly ...
