Peak Scientific Instruments ABN2ZA and AB-3G nitrogen generators

Peak Scientific Instruments’ ABN2ZA and the AB-3G nitrogen generators have been specifically designed to operate LCMS instruments manufactured by Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex.

The gas generators produce nitrogen and dry air through three outputs in the required flow rates, purities and pressures to cater for the requirements of all available LCMS models from Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex.

Each of the models essentially combine two separate gas generators 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.

Internal air compressors make the ABN2ZA a stand-alone, 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 compressors to cycle 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, thus ensuring uninterrupted uptime of the LCMS.

The generators provide up to 12 L/min of curtain gas (nitrogen), 24 L/min of source gas and 8 L/min of exhaust gas (air).

The gas generators are simple to install and easy to use. After initial installation and set-up, the generator will operate continuously with virtually no operator involvement and optimum performance can be maintained with an annual service visit.
