For years, helium has been the go-to choice as a carrier gas for mass spectrometers due to its well-known benefits. However, its limited supply and varying costs have posed significant challenges for labs worldwide.
LECO has conducted extensive research on the use of hydrogen as a carrier gas for GC-TOFMS analysis. We have developed innovative method transfer approaches to ensure a smooth and efficient transition to hydrogen. With our proven expertise in the hydrogen conversion process, we can help labs of all sizes achieve increased chromatographic throughput without sacrificing the sensitivity and accuracy they demand.
As the supply of helium continues to dwindle, the use of hydrogen as a carrier gas for GC applications has become an increasingly attractive option. With both benefits and drawbacks to consider, it requires the expertise of a dedicated team to determine the optimal approach.
In the following sections, we will share the details of our approach, including the method transfer approaches used, the technological benefits, and application examples. At LECO, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive information and support. That's why we have put together a range of resources specifically on hydrogen conversion, to help you make an informed decision.
We know how valuable your time is, so we‘re bringing the experts and resources closer to you to show you how LECO instrumentation and hydrogen carrier gas can revolutionize your analysis, with live demos of our instruments and software.
We understand that the conversion from helium to hydrogen carrier gas can be a crucial step in mass spectrometry, where speed and sensitivity are of utmost importance. At LECO, we take pride in designing our PEGASUS® mass spectrometers to deliver exceptional performance in Fast GC applications with both helium and hydrogen carrier gas. Our instruments are built to provide high-speed analysis without compromising sensitivity, making them the ideal choice for labs looking to switch to hydrogen. In addition, with our innovative StayClean® Ion Source technology, you can be confident that your instrument will operate at peak efficiency, free from the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
Helium is becoming an increasingly limited natural resource; using Hydrogen to achieve increased chromatographic throughput in GC applications is attractive. Both have advantages and disadvantages. LECO has for years investigated the use of Hydrogen as a carrier gas for GC-TOFMS analysis. In the following we are going to present you the method transfer approaches used, the technological benefits, and application examples.

The H836EN Hydrogen system is designed for low-range measurement of hydrogen content in aluminum, steel, refractory metals, and other inorganic materials. The H836EN differs from other 836-series systems with a larger sample introduction mechanism and higher sensitivity. Also larger samples like aluminum rods and uranium oxide pellets can be analyzed, it also supports surface/bulk hydrogen differentiation of aluminum samples.

"[...] I have experience with LECO for years. To summarise is very, very simple. The reason why I bought the last machine from LECO, the Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen analyser was because in the market it’s the best in terms of practicality. The fact that I can do the multi element analysis at the same time for Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen is a really benefit for me. You do not have this in most other competitors. Also, the aftersales service is something that is perfectly working for LECO. We have service contracts with LECO on all our instruments and are very happy with the aftersales support we get. [...]"

AMG Superalloys UK Ltd
"AMG Analytical has been working on LECO machines for over 25 years for the determination of O, N, C and S.
We embarked on a project working with LECO to bring Hydrogen testing in-house. The outcome of the project was excellent!
We have now purchased a LECO ONH836 machine and will offer the testing of Hydrogen to its external customers.
In our experience the level of commitment, technical expertise and support provided by LECO is unique within the industry.
We have no hesitation in recommending LECO to any company wishing to improve the efficiency of their operations."
"For our business as an accredited contract laboratory we need very flexible instruments that remain stable in the long run. Flexibility for the ever-changing levels of alloying elements and also for the lack of reference materials. We therefore need a versatile instrument for analysis and research, i.e. possible to separate, and for serving our customer with extended element range. We need top of the range instruments. D-LAB has for a long time used LECO Instruments for analysis of C S N O H.
We are very happy about the ranges that the instrument can handle!"
"My company has been using LECO instruments for CSNH analysis since 1973. Thousands and thousands of analyses, through day and night, in a steel shop laboratory… That’s hard work… both for the operator and the analytical equipment.
Since 1973 precision and accuracy are still improving!
Simply a robust and reliable instrumentation! Simply… LECO!"
