tubing. Use of a filter / separator in addition to supply regulator is strongly recommended.
Typical gases suitable for use with the

samples that are easily oxidised it is strongly recommended that Nitrogen is used. The gas
can be supplied from cylinders/bottles, via in-house systems, local compressor (air) or from a
gas generator (Nitrogen).
