ParkerBalstonFID-1000andFID-2500GasStationsprovidebothUHPgrade
hydrogen fuel gas and zero grade air (<0.1ppm total hydrocarbons) for flame
ionization detectors on gas chromatographs. The system is designed specifi-
cally to supply fuel gas to FIDs and to support flame thermionic and flame
photometricdetectors.Theunitsproducezeroairbypurifyingcompressedair
to a total hydrocarbon concentration of 0.1 ppm or less (measured as
methane). The hydrogen generators produce hydrogen gas from deionized
water, using the principle of electrolytic dissociation of water and hydrogen
proton conduction through aproton exchangemembrane cell.
These units are designed for universal operation.When ordering an FIDGas
Station foruse incountriesother than theUnitedStates, simplyadd theappro-
priate international powercord suffix to thecatalognumber for thegas station.

Convenient, SafeSourceof ZeroAir andPureHydrogen
By Kelli Ventura, GCAccessories Associate Product Manager
built to
international
standards
Produced and supported by an ISO 9001 registered organization, Parker
Balston hydrogen generators are built tomeet the toughest laboratory
standards - CSA, UL, CE, and IEC 1010.
• Singleunit produces zerogradeair and99.9995%purehydrogen.
• Eliminates inconvenient anddangerous cylinders.
• Silent operation,minimal operator attention required.
Just add the proper suffix to the catalog number for the gas generator you are ordering.
VolatileOrganicCompoundsbyGC/MS
Columns andReferenceMixes forUSEPA524.2Revision IV.
By Christopher English, GC Innovations Group Leader, and JosephMoodler, Analytical ReferenceMaterialsTechnical Supervisor
• All 84 compounds listed inMethod524.2 resolved in12minutes, usinganRtx®-VMS column.
• MegaMix™ referencemix includes 73 compounds in stable solution.
• Three referencemixes includeall 84 compounds.
Initially, US Environmental ProtectionAgencyMethod 524.2, a purge and trap, capillaryGC/MSmethod, was used to identify 60
volatile aromatic andhalogenatedhydrocarbons inmunicipal drinkingwater.Revision 4.0 (1992) added 24polar compounds and,
in2003,California allowed the additionof
tert
-amylmethyl ether (TAME),
tert
-butyl alcohol (TBA), ethyl-
tert
-butyl ether (ETBE),
and1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (Freon®113) to the list of target compounds.
Of these 84 compounds, only the six gases and five ketones arenot included inDrinkingWaterVOAMegaMix™, 524.2Rev 4.1. To
help ensure long-term stability of themixes,we offer the ketones separately, inpurge& trapmethanol/water (90:10, v/v). This sol-
vent systemprotects the keto groups andprevents acetal formation,which ismore likely tooccur in100%methanol.
