Contaminated Gases

104
Agilent recommends the use of clean gases that meet the
requirements in the Site Preparation Guide. In addition,
Agilent highly recommends the use of high quality traps to
eliminate as much possible contamination as possible. The use
of clean gases is essential for optimal performance. Otherwise,
sulfur and other contaminants from gases may accumulate in
the column and bleed out over time, desensitizing the ceramic
tubes and causing elevated baselines.
Moisture in the ozone generator supply line can lead to the
formation of acids that can damage or destroy the ozone
generator and other detector components. Agilent highly
recommends the use of a high-quality moisture trap, such as the
Gas Clean Filter System with a moisture trap, for the ozone
supply gas. See "Consumables and Replacement Parts"
page 65.
