02 Method basis

The working method is defined by the stated matrix, analytes, analytical route and laboratory reporting requirements. Record the adopted reference method and revision in the laboratory procedure before routine use.

03 Sample and analytical target

The matrix is high-purity hydrogen gas. The analytical target is carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other impurities specified by the adopted method. Sample state, target range and the adopted method determine preparation, transfer, detector choice and calibration design.

04 Analytical principle

A conditioned gas line and fixed-volume loop introduce a repeatable hydrogen sample without liquid handling.

The GC separation and selected detector channel resolve the specified impurities from the hydrogen matrix before calibration-based reporting.

05 Sampling and preparation

Connect the hydrogen source through a clean, leak-tight pressure-reduction and sampling path. Purge the line sufficiently before filling the sample loop.

Use certified gas standards and a suitable zero gas to verify blank contribution, retention and response.

06 Separation and detection

Use the selected GC column system with the specified detector to resolve the target impurities.

Confirm valve repeatability, baseline stability and calibration response before routine batches.

10 Calibration and quality control

calibration with certified gas standards across the required impurity range.

Use preparation blanks, calibration checks, replicate samples and matrix spikes appropriate to the method. Review retention, response, blank contribution and recovery before releasing results.

11 Configuration decisions

  • Match the inlet and transfer path to the sample phase and volatility.
  • Choose the detector from analyte response and matrix selectivity.
  • Confirm the concentration range with standards before selecting sample size or dilution.
