Peak Scientific Gas Generators for GC Applications

As a gas chromatography user, you will be aware that all GC Applications require Carrier Gas, Make-up Gas and Flame Gas for their operation. The choice of gases is usually determined by the application and the detector required. Safety, as much as cost and availability can also influence the selection of gases, for example high purity Helium can be difficult to obtain in some countries and gas bottles and cylinders can potentially pose Health & Safety Hazards. Many customers have already made the transition from traditional gas supply sources to generators and are now enjoying the benefits, such as gas on demand, of choosing to operate their GC’s with UHP Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Zero Air generators.

Hydrogen Generators

Peak offers Hydrogen Generators with flow rates of 200, 300 and 600cc/min with a purity of 99.9995% and 0-100psi delivery pressure. The Generator Models perform automatic System Checks and Leak Detection at start- up, shutting down the generator if a leak is detected, thus preventing the likelihood of a hazardous situation arising in your laboratory. For convenience, de- ionised water is loaded automatically into the generator through a water pump contained within the unit.

UHP Nitrogen Generators

Peak’s High Purity Nitrogen Generators utilise highly advanced Carbon Molecular Sieve Technology to extract oxygen and moisture from compressed air, providing 99.9995% pure Nitrogen (purity figure based on Oxygen content) and depending on generator model - flow rates are available between 250 and 4,000cc/min at a pressure of up to 80 psi. Ultra High Purity Nitrogen Generators are also available from Peak Scientific with internal air supply, offering a self-contained solution to supply Nitrogen as a Carrier Gas to multiple GCs.

Zero Air Generators

Peak Zero Air Generators help to improve baseline stability whilst reducing the frequency of re-calibration achieved by a low and constant hydrocarbon content of Zero Air. A range of models is available with flow rates up to 30l/min and some models are also available with built in air-compressors.

Maintenance of all Peak gas generators is minimal and straight forward and can be carried out by Peak engineers or our trained and authorised distributors. Maintenance plans are also available, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of gas as well as optimum performance and reliability which we know are vital in today’s busy laboratory environment. Peak Scientific Instruments has a mission to provide a safe, convenient and reliable solution for analytical instruments and analysers that require a source of gas for normal operation.

With more than 10 years of experience as a specialist manufacturer of gas generators, Peak Scientific has become a world leader in the field of generator technology for the GC and LC/MS markets, designing, manufacturing and supporting products, which meet and exceed the needs of the analytical instrument industry. Global Service and Support is provided through an extensive network of field service engineers and technical support specialists from Peak and its authorised distributors in over 70 countries.
