Reagent gases and regulators

The following reagent gases and hardware may be required for operation of CI with
the HP 5973 MSD (depending on your choice of reagent). Use the highest purity
gases available. Do not use gases of less than the listed purity. The hardware items
listed below are available from Matheson and Swagelok. They are representative of
products that are appropriate for the purpose.

A gas purifier (G1999-80410) is needed for use with methane and isobutane; it
cannot be used with ammonia. A separate purifier is necessary for each gas supply.

Methane (required)

Lecture bottle (0.06 m

3

, 56 liters), UHP 99.97%

Regulator 3320
Stand, model J05
Swagelok female connector, SS-200-7-2

Isobutane (optional)

Lecture bottle (0.17 kg), instrument, 99.5% purity
Regulator 3321 or 3320
Stand, model J05
Swagelok female connector, SS-200-7-2

Ammonia (optional)

Lecture bottle (0.17 kg), anhydrous, 99.99% purity
Regulator 3332
