Agilent catalog for consumables and supplies contains information to help you identify the correct regulator, as determined by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA). Agilent Technologies offers pressure-regulator kits that contain all the materials needed to install regulators properly. Pressure regulator-gas supply tubing connections Use PTFE tape to seal the pipe-thread connection between the pressure regulator outlet and the fitting to which you connect the gas tubing.
• Oxygen - Prevents oxidation of the GC column, septum, liner, and glass wool. • Moisture - Delivers fast stabilization times for increased GC productivity, and prevents hydrolization damage to the stationary phase, column, liner, glass wool, or septum in the GC.
