The Brevis GC-2050 consumes 30 % less power than conventional GCs. It also minimizes helium usage and supports
operations with alternative carrier gases.

the use of hydrogen carrier gas. Furthermore, a gas selector* can switch the carrier gas to nitrogen after an
analysis has been completed to enhance safety. Hydrogen carrier gas enables fast analysis (application example
Minimizing helium gas usage above) and maximizes throughput in the laboratory.
