Peak Scientific launch the most energy-efficient nitrogen generator for single quad LC-MS

The newest addition to the Peak Scientific catalogue is Horizen 24, the most energy efficient nitrogen generator for Single Quad LC-MS on the market today.

With Horizen 24, Peak has brought to market a solution that will save laboratories money, space and environmental impact whilst enhancing gas quality and reliability.

Designed for Single Quad LC-MS, Horizen 24 combines a number of proprietary technologies to provide the ideal solution for nitrogen gas supply.

Horizen 24 has been designed with new technology inside, including heat optimization technology to protect the membrane from water droplets, enhancing performance and reliability in the gas stream. This exciting innovation also houses advanced multi-stage purification to produce ultra-dry, high-purity nitrogen gas for LC-MS analysis.

With demand growing, Peak Scientific set out to manufacture the most energy-efficient nitrogen generator on the market in the smallest footprint in its class. Using up to 55% less energy, Horizen 24 can save labs on power consumption and with over 50% less heat output, even lab’s air conditioning costs can be reduced. Horizen 24 can also help labs to minimize their operational carbon footprint compared to cylinders and equivalent generator models.

Save money

For the first time, we have introduced Peak -designed compressors which are unique to our gas generators. These compressors reduce power consumption by as much as 55% leading to a reduction in the cost to run, reducing heat output which helps lower air conditioning costs, and reducing the impact on the sensitivity of results from neighbouring equipment.

By switching to proprietary compressors we now only need one compressor to achieve the same nitrogen output as we were able to with our previous solution which used two compressors. This means labs are seeing an immediate saving on energy consumption through more efficient and reliable technology which helps achieve higher output with less power.

Horizen 24 is also able to achieve more than 50% less heat output compared to other units. While this may not initially seem like an obvious cost saver, when looking at the bottom line, by reducing your lab’s requirement for air conditioning and reducing heat output, Horizen 24 can help reduce your lab’s electricity bill and carbon footprint. With energy costs continuing to increase, this will continue to help you save money.

Save the planet

As the world, and especially the scientific community as leaders in the movement, is actively working towards a greener, more environmentally-friendly future, Peak’s mission was to design and manufacture the most energy-efficient nitrogen gas generator on the market - Horizen 24.

With Horizen 24, Peak have achieved this.

With the introduction of our proprietary compressor technology, Peak have managed to achieve a 50% reduction in energy consumption compared to competing units meaning labs are saving on energy consumption through the reduction in the number of compressors in the unit.

Horizen 24 is also able to achieve more than 50% less heat output compared to other units. By reducing the heat output, Horizen 24 can help reduce your lab’s carbon footprint by reducing the requirement for air conditioning. Considering air conditioning results in around 20% of the electricity used in buildings today – and amounts to 10% of electricity consumption worldwide – it’s important to look at ways to reduce the requirement for frequent AC use.

Horizen 24, as with all of Peak’s gas generators, helps your lab to reduce your carbon footprint by removing the need for repeated deliveries of pressurised gas cylinders as you will have a constant, high-quality supply of lab gas at the touch of a button. Not only are you reducing your impact through delivery of gas, but when we consider the full implications of bulk gas we can see the difference we could make to the planet.

Save space

Horizen 24 is the smallest nitrogen gas generator in its class today. But why does that matter to your lab?

Horizen 24 is small enough to fit under almost any lab bench which frees space elsewhere in your lab to help create more ergonomic workspaces while maintaining a clean and orderly environment. By taking an innovative approach to gas generation technology, we have managed to reduce Horizen’s footprint by 28% (compared with the previous Peak model), giving you more space in your lab than ever before, especially when compared with bulky nitrogen cylinders.

This innovative approach also brings additional benefits as it is the careful, yet purposeful, positioning of internal components which, together with the highest grade components, brings reliable purity, reduced heat output, and greatly reduced power consumption.
