Whisper-0 Hybrid Nitrogen + Air Generator
The VICI DBS® Whisper-0 Hybrid Nitrogen + Air can produce up to 120 L/min of high purity LC/MS grade nitrogen at pressures up to 8 barg (116 psig). These generators are engineered to transform standard compressed air into a safe regulated nitrogen and high purity air supply with minimal operator attention and maintenance.
Overview
Nitrogen and air for your LC/MS – without electricity.
Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of filtration and membrane separation technologies. A standard supply of compressed air is filtered by high efficiency coalescing filters to remove all contaminants down to 0.1 micron. A unique proprietary membrane then separates the air into a concentrated nitrogen stream. Air is purified using a unique air purification membrane removing contamination and water.
Membrane technology offers some unique performance benefits for LC/MS users including phthalate free nitrogen, silent operation, no moving parts and no electrical requirements. The generator can be installed directly in the laboratory either floor or wall mounted and requires minimal operator attention or maintenance. The generators are designed to run continuously providing a clean, dry high purity nitrogen supply.
