Volatiles Interface GC Inlet

Great Question. Most Agilent inlets can be configured for four gas types with The VI Inlet being the exception. I will attempt to find an answer. The Manual confirms what you are seeing as I pasted below.

The inlet electronic pressure control (EPC) modules are calibrated for up to 4 carrier gases: Split/Splitless capillary (SS), Purged packed (PP), Programmable temperature vaporization (PTV), Multi-Mode (MM), and cool on-column (COC) are calibrated for Helium, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Argon methane 5%. o Volatiles inlet VI is calibrated for only Helium and Hydrogen.

Hi James,

Any update with regards to using Nitrogen carriers for VI?

Hi James,

Hi wasson.desmond  I confirmed this is not a supported configuration. If this is something you want us to consider, please share your use case.

Thanks,
