Nitrogen Generators, Quality Saves Money
Sep 03 2015
Nitrogen generators with built-in compressors cause more problems, cost more to maintain, require a service contract, have a shorter lifetime and higher downtime.
Fortunately not all nitrogen generators are the same. For 25 years cmc Instruments GmbH have been manufacturing nitrogen generators for LC-MS, always without built-in compressors. Why? This type of system runs the risks of vibration, overheating and delivering moisture to the membrane. Not only will the compressor need replacing eventually but the nitrogen membrane will also become irreversibly damaged. The result - increased downtime, higher costs and replacement parts. A service contract is a must for such systems.
Walk into the large Sciex laboratories in Germany and you will find all the nitrogen generator systems are from cmc Instruments. Every nitrogen generator is tailored for the number and brand of LCMS it is going to be used with – plug and play. You get the features you want, you are not paying for features you don’t want.
The quality runs right the system. The membrane is of higher quality and lower ratio than the norm in these instruments, ensuring a longer lifetime. Four filters further ensure that only clean, dry air is presented to the membrane. Annual maintenance involves a filter change and can be performed by the user in fifteen minutes. No nitrogen generator service contract is needed.
Nitrogen generators from cmc Instruments GmbH are market leaders in Germany. The belief at cmc Instruments is that it is not how much you pay on day one that matters. It is the years of service, the cost of ownership and lowest possible downtime that are most important. Customers tend to agree.
cmc Instruments manufacture – all in Germany - a wide range of gas generators including nitrogen generators for LC-MS applications, high purity PSA nitrogen generators, hydrogen generators for GC applications, zero air generators, purge gas generators and TOC gas generators – all to the same high standards.
