Peak Scientific Nitrogen Generator Corona 1010 + Corona compressor

• Supplying high-purity nitrogen for Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) instruments.
• Providing inert gas for various laboratory analytical applications.
• Used in pharmaceutical research and quality control processes.
• Supporting chemical analysis requiring a clean nitrogen source.

Typical nitrogen purity

Units of this type commonly offer purity levels suitable for LC-MS applications, often around 99.5% or higher.

Typical flow rate

For this class of equipment, flow rates are typically designed to meet the demands of analytical instruments, often ranging from 10 to 30 L/min.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Integrated compressor

This unit includes an integrated compressor, eliminating the need for an external air supply.

Technology

Nitrogen generators for LC-MS typically utilise Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) or membrane separation technology.

Footprint

Units are generally designed to be compact for laboratory environments, though exact dimensions vary.

• What is the primary benefit of using a nitrogen generator over cylinders for LC-MS?

  Nitrogen generators offer a continuous, on-demand supply of gas, eliminating the logistical issues, safety concerns, and fluctuating purity associated with high-pressure cylinders. They also typically reduce long-term operational costs.

• Is this unit suitable for other laboratory instruments besides LC-MS?

• What maintenance is typically required for a Peak Scientific nitrogen generator?

• Does this generator require an external air supply?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used nitrogen generator?

Used nitrogen generators are valued for reliable on-site gas production, reducing reliance on external suppliers. Buyers typically appreciate their cost efficiency over time and operational consistency. When purchasing used units, buyers should verify maintenance history, inspect compressor condition, and confirm membrane or PSA system integrity. Industry sentiment favours established manufacturers known for durability. Key strengths include lower running costs than bottled nitrogen, space efficiency, and reduced supply chain dependency. Buyers often prioritise units with accessible service records and clear documentation of prior use.
