The chemicals and reagents used in everyday research can be made safer by making smart choices on how they are handled. When performing chromatography, the right equipment is essential for proper chemical analysis. Gas chromatography commonly uses compressed gasses as carrier gas (hydrogen or helium) and fuel (hydrogen) for the flame ionization detector. Liquid chromatography uses organic and water-modified organic solvents as their mobile (carrier) phase. Large volumes of these flammable gasses at high-pressure and solvent vapors present safety concerns that must be managed wisely.
