Analysis of semivolatile organic compounds with hydrogen carrier gas and HydroInert source by gas chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is integral to the analysis of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in environmental matrices. Recent pressure on the helium (He) supply has required organizations to actively investigate hydrogen (H₂) carrier gas. Here, Agilent Technologies presents the Agilent HydroInert source, and explains how it retains the ability to analyze a wide calibration range and meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method 8270 calibration criteria when using H₂ carrier gas.
