Our story

P E AK AN D SCI E X

SCIEX, a global manufacturer of mass spectrometry solutions
headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts, has been working
in conjunction with Peak Scientific for nearly two decades. A
relationship which began in 2000 with the production of the
NM20ZA generator, to meet the demands of all SCIEX systems
up to and including the API4000 at that time. SCIEX have tested
and approved all models of Peak Scientific generators which
complement the full range of SCIEX systems.

D E D I C ATE D GA S SO LUTIO N

Product Managers and Engineers from both organizations are
in constant contact throughout the New Product Development
process to ensure Peak’s products can meet and exceed the
specific gas requirements of SCIEX’s range of LC-MS solutions.
In most cases, there is a dedicated Peak Scientific gas generator
for whatever SCIEX LC-MS system you may have, purposely built
to match the most efficient operating standards of each product.

Our story

P E AK P E R FO R M E RS: O U R WO R LD - CL A S S P RO D U C T P L ATFO R M S

Three distinct product series define our core offering to supply
SCIEX mass spectrometer systems. Our best-selling Genius Series,
designed mainly for LC-MS applications, is a self-contained system
featuring integrated compressors, delivering laboratory-grade
nitrogen at various pressures and flow rates. The Genius 1024
offers the exact flows and pressures for all 3 gases required by the
majority of SCIEX instruments. whilst Genius XE SCI 2 has been
developed with SCIEX for the latest SCIEX Triple Quad™ 7500
LC-MS/MS System – QTRAP® Ready and Echo® MS System*.
The Infinity & Solaris Series of nitrogen gas generators are silentrunning compressor-free systems for laboratories with an in-house
supply of clean, dry air - delivering nitrogen at a wide range of
flow rates for either single or multiple mass-spec instruments. The
Infinity 1031 has been engineered in standard and hi-flow versions
to effortlessly handle varying flow requirements.
Developed exclusively for SCIEX, the MS Bench SCI range provides
a modular workstation with provision for either integrated gas
generation or a noise abating enclosure for roughing pumps.

Note:
Some SCIEX models may be supplied with nitrogen gas only, please see the relevant site guide for additional
details.
For SCIEX models API5500, API4500 and the Triple TOF 5600, SCIEX recommend only Zero Grade Air to be
used for SOURCE GAS (Gas 1/Gas 2) when operating a Nanospray Ion Source. When using UHP N2 with this
ion source, there is an increased risk of corona discharge, which can damage the emitter tip. However; if
customer is using the DuoSpray™ or Turbo V™ or PhotoSpray ion source, they can still use UHP N2 for Gas 1
and Gas 2.
MS Bench (G) SCI 1 gas output is suitable for all instruments except IVD medical devices, all SCIEX Benchtop
MS can be placed on MS Bench SCI 1. Vac Pumps for floor standing Triple TOFs can be placed inside MS Bench
SCI 1
For SCIEX ECD application there is no gas generator solution currently.
*Though ZenoTof 7600 can be supplied by the MS Bench (G) SCI 2, it cannot be situated on top of any MS
Bench.

“The instrument is
quiet and provides high
quality gas for our
LC/MS system.”

Safeguard your
laboratory
workflow with

Servicing any equipment in your lab should not be seen
as just an option, it should be treated as a necessity. With
many moving parts and wear & tear, especially where
generators feature integrated compressors, as well as
filters and other ‘consumables’, a gas generator needs to
be maintained regularly to continue to perform at its best
for many years.
Here at Peak we see your gas generator as the beating
heart of your laboratory, enabling your analytical
instruments to perform and achieve the results you need.
With this being the case it is extremely important you
look after your ‘beating heart’ to ensure the best possible
results.

Not all warranties are equal.
What differentiates Peak from other gas generator manufacturers is that a
Peak gas generator comes with a truly comprehensive on-site warranty. This
means that in the unlikely event that your gas generator develops a problem,
we will send a Peak Certified Field Service Engineer to your laboratory to try to
resolve the issue on-site and get you back up and running with minimal fuss and
disruption.
What’s more, when we say fully-comprehensive, we mean it. Every part of your
generator is covered during warranty. While other manufacturer warranties
may only cover certain components or require the return of your generator to
the factory for repair, leaving you without gas for weeks or even months, our
warranty is designed to give you complete peace of mind.
