When only exceptional will do Introducing the most advanced nitrogen gas generator for your laboratory

Peak Scientific, a global leader in laboratory gas generation, launched its latest innovation at the 66th ASMS Conference in San Diego, CA. Designed specifically to provide on-demand gas for high performance analytical applications, such as triple-quadrupole LC-MS, Genius XE offers variable flow of analytical grade nitrogen gas of up to 70 litres per minute, and at purities up to 99.5%.

Positioned as ‘the most advanced laboratory nitrogen generator on the market’, Genius XE is the culmination of decades of experience in designing laboratory gas generators. Genius XE combines everything proven successful in Peak’s best-selling Genius line (launched 2010) with new technologies and design principles, aimed at delivering greater performance, and giving end-users in the lab more confidence and convenience in their day to day analysis.

The smaller and quieter range of generators (XE 35 and XE 70) now incorporates new Multi-Stage Purification™ technology including proprietary hydrocarbon removal, producing nitrogen at up to 99.5% purity, ECO mode (Electronic Compressor Optimization™) for lower energy consumption and enhanced compressor performance. The new and improved PeakOS™ touch-screen system control gives users greater control over the product and increases ease of operation and allows for faster service diagnostics.

Genius XE nitrogen generators are designed from the ground up to deliver maximum performance, for labs that can’t afford to compromise. Delivering analytical grade nitrogen gas on-demand 24/7, Genius XE generators are the perfect combination of innovative technology and expertise, to meet the needs of even the most demanding laboratories. With flexible flow rates and purity up to 99.5%, Genius XE is a versatile solution for various instrument gas needs including LC-MS, ELSD or sample evaporators.

Engineered to exceptionally high specification and using proven and precision designed components, developed and refined over Peak’s 20 years of experience in manufacturing nitrogen generators for the laboratory, Genius XE is built to perform day in, day out.

A fixed annual service interval, ensures users can be confident in maximum uptime. In the unlikely event of a fault, advanced system diagnostics alert the user to any issue via the PeakOS™ control interface, and enable the local Peak Scientific service engineer (or approved agent), stationed across the globe to provide full on-site service coverage no matter the location of a lab, to easily troubleshoot on-site and get the generator back up and running quickly.

2 year comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty*

Next-generation high performance premium compressors, engineered exclusively for Genius XE

On-board service scheduling and system diagnostics

Everything about Genius XE generators have been designed with either superior performance or user experience in mind. With the latest advances in mass-spectrometry and increasing performance and higher sensitivities, the quality of nitrogen is more important than ever. Peak Scientific believe that their approach to incorporate more stages of filtration technology than ever before, following years of research into new filtration, adsorption and drying technology, has led to Genius XE defining new benchmarks in gas quality and usability.

Michelle Goldie, Head of Product Management at Peak Scientific, commented: "Genius XE represents a major technology advance for Peak Scientific, setting a new benchmark in performance for a laboratory gas generator. Developing a system that both improves performance in terms of quality of gas, while making it even more reliable and easy to use at the same time, is no easy task and required considerable effort in R&D and rigorous testing. But I’m proud to say the end result delivers both exceptional gas quality and exceptional reliability."

There are two models of Genius XE to choose from to suit instrument flow requirement, Genius XE 35 (up to a total of 35 L/min) and Genius XE 70 (up to a total of 70 L/min), both sharing many of the unique benefits with the main differences being size, number of internal compressors (2 and 4, respectively) and of course total output flow. The Genius XE 70 is ideally suited to serving multiple instruments, eg. 2 or even 3 mass-spectrometers from one compact footprint solution.
