Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does a hydrogen generator improve laboratory safety?
Unlike high-pressure cylinders, a Peak Scientific generator produces gas on demand and stores a very small internal volume, featuring automatic leak detection and shut-off for maximum safety.
2. What is the difference between "Zero Air" and standard compressed air?
Zero Air generators, such as the Peak Precision series, actively remove hydrocarbons (to <0.05 ppm) and moisture, which is essential for stable baselines in FID detectors.
3. Can I use a single nitrogen generator for multiple LC-MS instruments?
The Genius XE35 is designed for high-capacity flow, but for multi-instrument setups, our technical team can help you calculate the total flow requirements to ensure consistent purity.
4. How much maintenance do these gas generators require?
Modern systems like the Precision Nitrogen Trace use regenerative technology that eliminates the need for catalyst chamber replacement, requiring only minimal routine filter changes.
