Is the helium shortage hitting your budget? Many GC labs feeling the pressure are searching for cost-cutting alternatives. Reducing your helium usage can be surprisingly easy, but what about switching carrier gas entirely? Advanced method translation tools simplify updating methods from helium to hydrogen, and thanks to dependable and economical gas generators, there has never been a better time to consider switching.
3 Ways to Reduce Your Helium Usage and Cut Costs
Did you know many GCs have a gas saver mode? It’s true! Follow along in this Restek Tip as we walk you through three easy ways to quickly slash your helium costs today.
Less Helium. Better Separations. Upgrade to RMX Columns.
Not ready to switch carrier gases? Upgrading to Restek’s narrow-bore RMX columns reduces helium consumption while delivering even better separation than traditional columns. RMX columns are also fully optimized for hydrogen if you ever decide to make the switch.
