After a one off payment for an gas generator, all that is needed is electricity for a standard socket in order to produce nitrogen, hydrogen, instrument air, and hydrocarbon free air and nitrogen.
Noblegen, a manufacturer of on-site laboratory gas generating equipment, has frozen its prices for 2006, and for the second year in succession is helping to maintain stable gas prices for its customers.
Laboratory gases are a necessity for any laboratory and Noblegen believes one of the easiest ways to guarantee a gas supply for the next ten years or more is to invest in one of its on-site gas generating systems.
In the current climate of rising fuel prices, there is says Noblegen no better time to consider generating your own laboratory gases on-site, giving at least ten years of guaranteed gas supplies for the cost of electricity.
The rise in fuel prices will mean that high pressure cylinder gas deliveries, which are essential for many laboratories, must inevitably cost more.
Increasing demands for gas in applications such as LC/MS means that a guaranteed supply of gas in crucial, but many labs don't consider just how much this costs.
Costs of cylinder gases is not just the rental, but also the delivery and collection, raising orders and paying invoices before the gas even reaches an application.
On top of that there is the need to buy pressure regulators, store the cylinders in a safe area, and consider health and safety issues associated with handling the cylinders.
When a cylinder is changed equipment needs calibrating, but of course the worst secnario is to actually run out of gas.
With prices frozen for 2006, there is now a chance to invest in the future and still purchase the same high quality equipment that Noblegen says it is known for supplying, and at the same time take away the hassles and worries of the continued supply of high pressure gas cylinders.
After a one off payment for an on-site gas generator, all that is needed is the electricity for a standard three-pin electrical socket.
Gases available are nitrogen, hydrogen, instrument air, and hydrocarbon free air and nitrogen.
Nitrogen flow-rates are available from 1 to 40nl/min and all come with two years full factory warranty and a life-time warranty on the process carbon sieve used to separate oxygen and nitrogen used in the PSA technique.
Noblegen now has representation around the UK and the rest of the world.
