Gas Generators For Thermo Fisher Scientific Instruments

Importance of the Topic

Gases such as nitrogen and hydrogen are critical consumables for analytical instruments including LC-MS, GC detectors and aerosol detectors. On-demand generation of these gases improves safety, lowers operational costs, and ensures consistent supply for high-throughput environments.

Objectives and Study Overview

This brochure describes the development, features, and performance of Peak Scientific’s gas generators tailored for Thermo Fisher Scientific instruments. The collaboration focuses on delivering systems that match specific flow, purity, and pressure requirements across a wide range of analytical applications.

Used Instrumentation

The following gas generator platforms are detailed:

• Genius XE Series (35 and 70 L/min nitrogen generators with integrated compressors)
• Solaris XE (compressor-free membrane generator up to 35 L/min nitrogen)
• Infinity XE 5010 (membrane generator up to 60 L/min nitrogen)
• Corona 1010 (nitrogen generator for Charged Aerosol Detector with optional compressor)

Methodology

Peak Scientific employs membrane separation and pressure swing adsorption technologies to produce high-purity gases. Product development involves joint engineering with Thermo Fisher Scientific to align generator performance with instrument gas demands. Each system undergoes rigorous testing to verify flow, pressure stability, and purity under varying laboratory conditions.

Main Results and Discussion

The generators consistently deliver nitrogen purity up to 99.5% at pressures up to 116 psi across specified flow rates. Application matrices confirm optimal pairing of generator models with Thermo Fisher instruments, from single quadrupole to Orbitrap mass spectrometers and charged aerosol detectors. Integrated compressors and modular designs allow scalable solutions for single or multiple instruments.

Benefits and Practical Applications

• Elimination of cylinder handling and associated safety risks
• Reduced operational cost through on-site gas production
• Customized flow and purity settings for diverse analytical workflows
• Compact footprint to maximise laboratory space
• Comprehensive on-site warranty and global service network to ensure minimal downtime

Future Trends and Applications

Emerging trends include remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, further integration of gas generation into laboratory automation, and development of greener technologies with reduced energy consumption. Scalability and modular installation will support growing demands in multi-instrument laboratories.

Conclusion

Peak Scientific’s dedicated gas generators for Thermo Fisher Scientific instruments provide reliable, high-purity gases tailored to analytical needs. Combined with global support services and comprehensive warranties, these solutions enhance lab productivity and safety while lowering overall costs.
