HeSaver-H2Safer™ kit for iConnect™ SSL injector module TRACE™ 1600 Series GC

Improve the sustainability of your laboratory, regardless of whether helium or hydrogen is your carrier gas. To significantly reduce carrier gas consumption while running samples and when the GC is idle, the Thermo Scientific HeSaver-H2Safer kit easily transforms the iConnect SSL injector module. To save time and cost for re-validation, existing methods remain unaffected. When helium is used as carrier, the HeSaver mode substantially extends cylinder lifetime and mitigates helium shortage concerns. When hydrogen is used as carrier, the H2Safer mode ensures safer operations and optimized use of hydrogen generators.

Maintain your existing methods and dramatically save on carrier gas consumption, whether using helium or hydrogen carrier gas:

For laboratories using helium as carrier gas

• Mitigate helium shortage concerns, including delayed delivery and increased costs
• Maintain existing validated methods
• Achieve optimal GCMS performance with no compromise on sensitivity or spectra matching

For laboratories using hydrogen as carrier gas

• Benefit from safer operating conditions thanks to a limited max flow rate, removing the need for hydrogen sensor in the GC oven
• Serve more GCs with a hydrogen generator
• Ensure inert injection environment in the hot SSL since hydrogen is not flushing into the injector

Additional benefits of using the HeSaver-H2Safer option

• Save time for inlet maintenance. The modified SSL injector can be accessed while the carrier gas flows into the column, removing the need to cool the GC oven.
• Reduce contamination from the injector into the column. The carrier gas does not flow through the injector, which protects the column from common contaminants (septum/sample matrix/by-products).
