Agilent EI GC/MS instrument helium to hydrogen carrier gas conversion
Historically, helium, an inert gas, is the preferred carrier gas for GC/MS. Recurring difficulties with the availability and price of helium have resulted in users considering changing to alternative carrier gases. For EI (Electron Impact) GC/MS, the only practical alternative is hydrogen. The purpose of this document is to help users of Agilent EI GC/MS systems determine if hydrogen can be used as a carrier gas for their analyses and what considerations and procedures are necessary to make the transition successful.

Quantitating pesticides in black tea with steady performance and maximized uptime by GC/MS/MS
Tea is one of the most commonly consumed non-alcoholic beverages globally, and assessing pesticide levels in tea is essential for ensuring safe consumption, as required by many multinational regulatory bodies. Agilent Technologies presents a complete GC/TQ workflow solution for the accurate and reliable analysis of 246 volatile and semivolatile pesticides in black tea, with the Agilent 7010D GC/TQ. Discover how this workflow solution allows for quantitation of pesticide residues with LOQs as low as 0.01 ppb, yet also demonstrates calibration accuracy over a dynamic range, spanning up to five orders of magnitude over 0.01 to 1,000 ppb in the complex black tea extract.
Adding more confidence to sensitive quantitation in complex foods by triple quadrupole GC/MS (GC/TQ)
Concern about trace-level food contaminants is driving the demand for robust, rapid, and reliable methods for identification and quantitation of chemical residues and contaminants in food matrices. Agilent describes the use of the novel simultaneous dMRM/scan (dynamic multiple reaction monitoring/scan) data acquisition mode for reliable identification and quantitation of pesticides in challenging food matrices. Simultaneous dMRM/scan mode eliminates the need to reanalyze the sample in each data acquisition mode separately, enabling retrospective analysis, yet demonstrating comparable performance for quantitation to dMRM only mode. Explore an outline of this method using the Agilent 8890/7000E and 8890/7010C triple quadrupole GC/MS systems (GC/TQ), for spinach, walnut, and cayenne pepper extracts.
Optimized GC/MS analysis for PAHs in challenging matrices using the Agilent 5977 Series GC/MSD

Discover how the Agilent 8890 GC combined with an Agilent 5977 Series MSD system provides a precise and robust means of analyzing PAHs in difficult matrices, using proper instrument configuration and operating conditions. Explore how mid-column backflushing, continuous hydrogen source cleaning (JetClean), and use of an alternative draw-out lens result in excellent linearity across a calibration range of 1 to 1,000 pg.
Hydrogen carrier gas for analyzing pesticides in pigmented foods with GC/MS/MS
Due to recurring helium shortages and increased prices experienced in recent years, there is an intensified demand for adapting the GC/MS analysis to hydrogen carrier gas. Agilent describes the key strategies for pesticide analysis with gas chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC/TQ) using hydrogen as the carrier gas, while maintaining sensitivity to meet maximum residue limits (MRLs). Explore key strategies for column configuration, optimized injection conditions, and choice of mass spectrometer (MS) electron ionization (EI) source hardware developed for use with hydrogen carrier gas – the Agilent HydroInert source and the Agilent High Efficiency Source (HES).

Safeguard against helium uncertainty
Global helium shortages jeopardize the operations of labs that depend on gas chromatography. Hydrogen is a renewable, low-cost alternative, but because it’s not inert, hydrogen can sometimes cause reactions in certain analytes in the source. Here, Agilent Technologies presents the Agilent HydroInert source as a potential solution to this problem.
Agilent Inert Plus GC/MS system with HydroInert source
With increased price on the helium (He) market, laboratories are exploring the option of hydrogen (H2 ) carrier gas. Since hydrogen is a reactive gas, hydrogenation and dechlorination reactions can and do occur in the mass spectrometer electron ionization (EI) source. Here, Agilent Technologies presents a newly designed extractor source for the Agilent 5977B Inert Plus GC/MSD and Agilent 7000D/E Inert Plus triple quadrupole GC/MS systems and explains how it can address these hydrogen-related issues.
Volatile organic compounds analysis in drinking water with headspace GC/MSD using hydrogen carrier gas and HydroInert source
Recent concerns with the price and availability of helium have led laboratories to look for alternative carrier gases, such as hydrogen, for their GC/MS methods. Agilent Technologies explains how HydroInert, a new EI source for GC/MS and GC/MS/MS, was developed, and optimized for use with hydrogen carrier gas, and describes how the system can be used to analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in drinking water.
A fast and robust GC/MS/MS analysis of 203 pesticides in 10 minutes in spinach
Agilent describes two approaches for achieving robust, multiresidue pesticide analysis in 10 minutes by GC/MS/MS, while maintaining sufficient chromatographic resolution for the analysis of over 200 pesticides in spinach; a challenging high chlorophyll, fresh matrix. Results demonstrate that excellent linearity, over a calibration dynamic range of 0.1 to 1,000 ppb or 0.5 to 1,000 ppb, was achieved with the Agilent 7010C and 7000 series triple quadrupole GC/MS systems. Method robustness was shown with 700 consecutive injections of spinach extract spiked with pesticides at 20 ppb, that spanned over 175 hours of continuous running of the GC/TQ.
