Table 20
Carrier and reagent gas requirements
Isobutane reagent gas (optional)
Carbon dioxide reagent gas (optional)
Nitrogen for collision cell (nitrogen source is
supplied to EPC module in GC.)
1 Hydrogen gas can be used for the carrier gas but specifications are based on helium as the carrier
2 Reagent available with manual tune only.

Carrier gas optimal gas flow, mL/min
Carrier gas maximum recommended gas flow, mL/min
Carrier gas maximum gas flow, mL/min
Reagent gas flow (EI/CI – CI application)
Collision cell gas flow rate, mL/min (Nitrogen)
Collision cell gas flow rate, mL/min (Helium)
Maximum column id
1 Total gas flow into the MS = column flow + reagent gas flow (if applicable) + collision cell gas flow.
2 Expect degradation of spectral performance and sensitivity.
