Inspired by Genius
Our original Genius series can be found in thousands of labs worldwide, having defined a
benchmark in high quality nitrogen generation for analytical applications since launch in 2010.
Approved and supplied by the leading mass-spec manufacturers around the world, Genius
has become synonymous with nitrogen on-demand for LC-MS.
But time doesn’t stand still and today’s lab demands more. With increasing instrument
sensitivity, lower detection limits and pressures to maximize uptime and streamline workflow,
it became clear that some customers needed more…Something exceptional. So we set out
to take all that we have learned with Genius and evolve and innovate, to design our most
advanced, high performance nitrogen generator yet. Genius XE was born.

The most advanced nitrogen
generator on the market today
Genius XE is designed from the ground up to deliver maximum performance, for labs
that can’t afford to compromise. The perfect combination of innovative technology
and expertise, to meet the needs of even the most demanding laboratories.

• Productivity

Built to exacting standards in our high-tech UK
manufacturing facility, Genius XE gives you 24/7, 365
nitrogen on-demand.

• Confidence

Using our latest generation technology gives you
confidence in analytical accuracy and the peace of
mind of having a global leader in your lab.

• Convenience

Smaller, more discrete, and easier to use than ever
before thanks to PEAKOS™, Genius XE is the ultimate
solution for zero-stress nitrogen gas in the lab.

• Versatility

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.

Innovative Technology
Triplex particulate filter

Three sequential stages of micro-particulate and coalescing filtration
ensures the nitrogen gas is as clean and high purity as possible from
a generator, and that you can have the greatest confidence in your
analytical results with minimal interference even at high resolution.

AirMax™ air intake
The result of advanced CFD modeling, the all-new AirMax™
(patent pending) intake is precision engineered to maximize air flow
into and around the integrated compressors. Combining 1st-stage
particulate filtration with optimized air distribution, this allows
compressors to operate at full efficiency and greater overall reliability.

Next-generation high performance compressors
At the heart of Genius XE are next-gen premium compressors, developed exclusively for
PEAK Scientific in collaboration with a world-leader in compressor technology and building
on decades’ experience of internal compressor integration. Optimized to deliver unlimited
run-hour annual service intervals, Genius XE is capable of running 24/7 with low running costs
and convenient once-per-year servicing to minimize downtime.

ECO technology
Electronic Compressor Optimization™ (ECO) intelligently manages compressor activity to minimize energy
consumption and maximize performance. Innovative software constantly monitors the application demand and controls
each compressor independently to deliver required output and turning some off when not needed. The benefit is true
on-demand generation improved operating efficiency (lower energy costs) and long-term performance and reliability as
the load on the compressors is intelligently shared and balanced.

Two-stage moisture removal
Unique reheat technology and proprietary lock-and-drain moisture
removal with redundancy ensures the application is extra protected
against any risk of moisture in the gas stream, delivering ultra-dry N2
into your instrument.

Advanced polymer hollow fiber
nitrogen membrane technology
Developed in collaboration with a world leading nitrogen
membrane manufacturer for the most efficient and robust
nitrogen membranes, ensuring a consistently high purity of
nitrogen from Genius XE, even at high flow rates.

PEAKOS™ control
Full color, high resolution touch screen
interface with integrated system control,
performance monitoring, start-up
status check and on-board service
scheduling and system diagnostics to aid
in speedy troubleshooting and service
maintenance. Makes Genius XE the most
intelligent and easiest to use nitrogen
generator we’ve ever designed.

NMHC capture
Proprietary non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) filtration stage
designed to remove ambient long-chain hydrocarbons (down to
<1ppm), which can cause spectral interference in some analytical
results, depending on the method. The innovative design has been
optimized for efficiency, performance and service life (annual*).

* subject to environmental conditions, replacement may be required more frequently at customer expense

Performance
Raising the bar with what’s under the bench
Everything about Genius XE has 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. Our approach to incorporate more stages of filtration
technology than ever before and following years of research into new filtration, adsorption and drying
technology, has led to Genius XE defining new benchmarks in gas quality and usability.

Tested and verified performance
Each generator is rigorously tested as part of our exacting Quality Assurance Testing at our ISO 9001
compliant factory before shipping to our customers, with gas quality certified and recorded for each and
every unit. The National Physical Laboratory (UK) has independently verified the nitrogen output of Genius
XE to be free of plasticizers and volatile organic compounds including phthalates, BHT, SOx, NOx and NO.
With Genius XE you can be supremely confident in product performance.

Two models to choose from
There are two models to suit your 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 XE 70
is ideally suited to serving multiple instruments, eg. 2 or even 3 mass-spectrometers from one compact
footprint solution.
