A continuous supply of carrier/combustion gas for total organic carbon (TOC) instruments frees users from the dangers and inconvenience of high pressure-cylinders
Parker Balston has introduced the compact, bench-top model 78-40 gas generator that produces a continuous supply of carrier/combustion gas for TOC instruments.
With this generator, TOC instrument users are set free from the dangers and inconvenience of high-pressure cylinders.
High-pressure oxygen cylinders are frequently a costly option, while the size and weight of the cylinders pose potential health and safety problems for scientists who are required to move them around the laboratory.
The 78-40 provides an alternative to these concerns, and with its compact design valuable laboratory floor-space is freed-up.
Offering a carrier/combustion gas supply that has hydrocarbons removed down to 0.1ppm (measured as methane), carbon dioxide reduced to 1ppm and a dew point of -70C, the 78-40 allows accurate, consistent analysis.
Instruments connected to the 78-40 will produce minimal and stable baselines.
The technology used in the 78-40 of catalytic oxidation and pressure swing adsorption, together with its carefully matched components, means easy installation, operation and long-term reliability.
Installing the 78-40 takes minutes, and once the unit has warmed-up it produces high purity carrier/combustion gas.
All that's needed to get the 78-40 up and running and producing a high purity gas stream is an electrical wall socket and a standard compressed air supply.
Operating at safe low pressures and utilising compressed air as a supply source, the 78-40 provides a way of gaining benefits for TOC instrument users who until now have used high pressure cylinders.
TOC users have an option with the 78-40 of avoiding the costs and hassle associated with high-pressure cylinders, their rental costs, supply agreements, and changing the cylinders.
Commenting on the 78-40, Parker Balston product manager Matthew Lampton said: "Parker Balston analytical gas generators are all about providing a better alternative for analytical scientists who have been using high pressure cylinders.
With safe lower pressure operation and attractive payback periods, the 78-40 is a great choice for scientists with TOC instruments."
