Gas generators from cmc Instruments aim to help maximising profitability in the demanding pharmaceutical industry by minimising LC-MS system downtime.
The cost of the raw materials and the LC-MS dwarf the cost of a nitrogen generator, but this is an area which can cause problems if not chosen wisely. ]
Nitrogen generators which incorporate a compressor may look neat but have higher running costs, more replacement parts and longer downtime.
Systems also run the risk of vibration, overheating and wet membranes.
According to the company, its range of nitrogen generator systems do not run this risk.
In addition, a higher quality membrane and a lower ratio ensure a longer lifetime. Annual maintenance involves a filter change and can be performed by the user in fifteen minutes, negating the need for a service contract.
cmc Instruments manufacture a wide range of gas generators, with the complete product line sold and supported by Chromalytic in the UK.
