Laboratory Hydrogen Gas — dependable hydrogen for chromatography and research
Laboratory hydrogen gas is a standard supply in modern analytical laboratories, where it fuels flame ionisation detectors and increasingly replaces helium as a GC carrier. REAL GAZ offers 5.0 grade hydrogen in cylinders that suit cabinet storage.
Compared with helium, hydrogen allows faster separations and lower cost per analysis.
Compared with helium, hydrogen allows faster separations and lower cost per analysis.
Supply conforms to ISO 17025 testing practice, EN ISO 10297 valve requirements and ADR transport rules for flammable gases, covering laboratory and industrial sites.
Hydrogen as a carrier gas has an optimum linear velocity about two to three times higher than helium, so analyses can often be completed in half the time with equal resolution. Methods must be validated when switching from helium, and the oven must be fitted with a hydrogen sensor or an instrument manufacturer's approved safety shut-off to prevent accumulation in the event of a column break.
🏭 Where Laboratory Hydrogen Are Used
- ⚙️ GC-FID analysis — hydrogen and air feed the flame that detects hydrocarbons in fuels, solvents and environmental samples;
- 🔬 GC carrier gas — hydrogen carrier shortens run times on capillary columns when safety measures are in place;
- 🏥 Hydrogenation experiments — small-scale reactions in autoclaves need measured hydrogen supply;
- 🚀 Electrochemistry — teaching labs study electrodes and fuel cells with cylinder hydrogen.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
- ✅ Consistent baseline — low hydrocarbon content avoids ghost peaks and noisy FID signals;
- 🧪 Compact formats — 10, 20 and 50 litre cylinders fit laboratory cabinets or cylinder stores;
- 🎯 Safety design — left-hand valve outlets and flame arrestor advice support safe lab practice;
- 🔒 Exchange service — empty cylinders are replaced at scheduled visits;
- 📄 Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — supplied with every order.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- hydrocarbon, oxygen and moisture analysis;
- dedicated lab-grade filling lines;
- visual and thread inspection of each valve;
- leak testing and labelled sealing.
Cylinders comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
🧯 Laboratory Safety Notes
- install a hydrogen sensor near the instrument and store cylinders outside the room where possible;
- use stainless steel tubing and avoid soft copper joints;
- check all joints with a leak detection fluid, never with a flame;
- for higher consumption, compare cylinder supply with a hydrogen generator.
Cylinders remain a practical choice for laboratories with low or occasional demand, while hydrogen generators become attractive for continuous high consumption. We are happy to compare running costs for your case honestly, including cylinder rental, exchange frequency and the space needed for storage, so that you choose the arrangement that suits your workload.
