Our story

TH E P E AK WAY

Peak Scientific is a leading innovator in the design, manufacture
and support of high performance gas generators for analytical
laboratories. Established in the UK in 1997 near Glasgow
(Scotland), where our corporate Headquarters and high-tech
manufacturing and R&D facilities reside, Peak Scientific boasts a
significant local presence on every continent – including major
operations in North America, China and India.
With two decades of experience in pioneering reliable gas
generator technology, Peak Scientific develops market-leading
nitrogen, hydrogen and zero air systems mainly for the field of
LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) and GC
(Gas Chromatography).
What differentiates us is our world-class technical support and
on-going service care throughout the generator’s lifespan,
wherever you may be in the world.

Our story

P E AK AN D TH E R M O FI S H E R SCI E NTI FI C

Thermo Fisher Scientific is a global manufacturer and distributor
of mass spectrometers and analytical tools headquartered in
Waltham, Massachusetts. Thermo Fisher Scientific and Peak
Scientific have been working in conjunction since the production
of the NG10LA generator in 1998. Since then, Peak has produced
several dedicated gas generator solutions for Thermo Fisher
Scientific applications including the N418LA the Corona system
and most recently our Genius XE products.

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 meet and exceed the specific
gas requirements of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s range of LC-MS
and other instruments.
There is a Peak Scientific gas generator solution to match any
of the Thermo Fisher-Scientific LC-MS instruments. Peak have
engineered purposely built generators, to meet the most efficient
operating standards of Thermo Fisher Scientific instruments,
for the MSQ, LTQ, LCQ, TSQ and Exactive series of mass
spectrometers as well as solutions for Orbitrap instruments and
the ISQ EC Single Quad LC-MS.

Four distinct product series define our core offering to supply
Thermo Fisher Scientific analytical laboratory instruments. Our bestselling Genius XE Series, designed mainly for LC-MS applications, is
a self-contained system featuring integrated compressors, delivering
analytical-grade nitrogen at various pressures and flow rates.
The Infinity XE & Solaris XE Series of nitrogen gas generators are
silent-running compressor-free systems for laboratories with an
in-house supply of clean, dry air - delivering a wide range of flow
rates including high-flow for applications such as sample evaporation
or multiple mass-spec instruments.
Peak has also engineered a specialist solution for the Corona VEO
Charged Aerosol Detector. The Corona 1010 delivers ultra-high purity
nitrogen for this specific Thermo Fisher Scientific instrument.
Engineered specifically to meet the needs of Gas Chromatography
our cutting-edge Precision Series is a modular system consisting of
high-purity nitrogen, hydrogen and zero air generators that can be
combined into a compact stack tailored to your needs.

* Typical settings as recommended by Thermo Fisher Fisher Scientific do not exceed 30L/min, however at max gas settings with the HESI and HESI-II
probe the gas demand can exceed the capacity limit of the Solaris XE and Genius XE 35 generators. In this instance the Infinity XE 6010 and Genius XE
70 will meet the gas demands for a single instrument and the Infinity XE 6020 will meet the gas demands for two instruments. These settings are
unlikely to be used for analysis as they are not optimum. The application flows must be verified before selecting the appropriate gas generator.

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.
