My hydrogen peaks are small using helium as carrier. If I change to nitrogen as carrier I will probably loose my CO, CO2 and O2 peaks. Which carrier gas should I use?

Try a custom mix of 8.5% hydrogen in helium as carrier; that's what we used for this. Hydrogen can be a negative peak, a positive peak, or small, depending on its concentration, that's why this custom blend is used. Look in literature, we didn't develop this ourselves.

Argon is another option for a quick fix.
