Nitrogen Generators - A Small Price to Pay
Jan 28 2016
Nitrogen generators are relatively inexpensive pieces of equipment necessary for the running of extremely expensive LC-MS systems running high throughput samples of expensive analytes. Although an inexpensive part - getting the nitrogen generation right is paramount for the systems efficiency and accuracy.
Not all nitrogen generators the same. Generators which incorporate a compressor in the same box are going to require service. This type of system runs the risks of vibration, overheating and delivering moisture to the membrane. Not only will the compressor need replacing eventually but the nitrogen membrane will also become irreversibly damaged. The result - increased downtime, higher costs and replacement parts. A service contract is a must for such systems.
Nitrogen generator systems from cmc Instruments do not run this risk. The quality runs right the system. The membrane is of higher quality and lower ratio than the norm in these instruments, ensuring a longer lifetime. Four filters further ensure that only clean, dry air is presented to the membrane.
Annual maintenance involves a filter change and can be performed by the user in fifteen minutes. No nitrogen generator service contract is needed. Throughout their history cmc Instruments can only recall changing a membrane on three nitrogen generators out of the thousands supplied. Isn’t that reassuring?
That is why nitrogen generators from cmc Instruments are market leaders in Germany. The belief at cmc Instruments is that it is not how much you pay on day one that matters. It is the years of service, the cost of ownership and lowest possible downtime that are most important. Customers tend to agree. European distributors who support this ethos are actively sought.
cmc Instruments design and manufacture – in Germany - a wide range of gas generators including nitrogen generators for LC-MS applications, high purity PSA nitrogen generators, hydrogen generators for GC applications, zero air generators, purge gas generators and TOC gas generators – all to the same high standards.
