Overview

Two compressors, one goal: pure nitrogen for your LC/MS.

Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of compressor and Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) technology. High and low pressure compressors are carefully matched to the CMS demand to ensure quiet and reliable operation. This unique combination of dual compressor technology has several unique advantages over all other nitrogen generators commercially available.

Nitrogen is produced at low pressure, which ensures a longer compressor life and then compressed to 8 barg (116 psig) using a second stage compressor. This combination guarantees a long compressor life reducing maintenance costs and down time.
