Carrier Gas
 . . . .Recommend carrier gas (e.g., Helium, Argon) purity of 99.9995%, minimum
99.995% if appropriate carrier gas trap is installed. Consult with INFICON for
your specific instrument requirements.
NOTE: A 2 channel 3000 Micro GC tank will last at least one year, application

 . . . .Dual Stage Regulator (CGA 580) for each carrier gas(s). Must be capable of
delivering 80-82 PSI to the 3000 Micro GC. Regulator outlet fitting must be
adapted to Swagelok
® in order to connect tubing. Use 1/8" fittings or 1/8"
adapters.

These are recommended for use with Molecular Sieve and Alumina Modules.
Tubing and Fittings

between tank regulator and 3000 Micro GC. 3000 Micro GC has a 1/8" Swagelok
male carrier gas connection.
