Peak Scientific has introduced the ABN2ZA and AB-3G nitrogen generators, designed to operate LCMS instruments manufactured by Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex.
The products produce nitrogen and dry air through three independent outputs in the required flow rates, purities and pressures to cater for the requirements of all available Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex LCMS models, including the API5500.
Each of these models essentially combine two separate gas generator systems in one unit with the source and exhaust gases (dry air) being generated by one system using one system and the curtain gas (nitrogen) being generated by the other.
The ABN2ZA and the AB-3G utilise proven gas technology that selectively removes oxygen, moisture and other gases to leave clean, dry, phthalate-free nitrogen and air.
Internal air compressors are said to make the ABN2ZA a standalone, self-sufficient nitrogen generator, independent from external air sources, whereas the AB-3G has been designed with additional compressor capacity.
This additional capacity allows the company to cycle the compressors more frequently, maximising compressor life.
In the unlikely event of one compressor failing, the internal control system will alert the user and manage the compressors to maintain a full output flow from the generator.
This feature will allow the user to plan a service or repair visit with Peak Scientific, therefore ensuring uninterrupted uptime of the LCMS.
