Total on-site laboratory nitrogen
gas generation solution
i-FlowLab is a modular & scalable nitrogen generation system that is
capable of producing a continuous supply of nitrogen gas at a stable purity
to meet the full and varying demands of your research facility. Harnessing
the latest in gas purification technologies, i-FlowLab is the most cost
effective, efficient and economical nitrogen gas generation system
available on the market. It is capable of delivering nitrogen at a wide range
of purities and flow rates that can be pre-configured depending on your
laboratory’s needs. i-FlowLab can supply your entire laboratory to provide
gas for LC-MS, gloveboxes, GC, sample preparation, headspace and many
other applications.
i-FlowLab is the culmination of Peak Scientific’s innovation and
technological expertise. It builds upon two decades of experience as
industry leading gas generation specialists for laboratory applications.
Designed & engineered in the UK by an ISO 9001 accredited
manufacturer, i-FlowLab utilizes the latest pressure swing adsorption
(PSA) technologies, optimized for maximum energy efficiency, with
over 100 preconfigured flow rates (11 - 5590 l/min) and purities (up
to 99.9995%) specifications.

i-FlowLab offers a complete nitrogen gas solution for facilities with high
flow & high purity requirements, replacing the need for bulk delivery with
consistent & convenient, on-demand nitrogen generation that is far safer
as well as more cost effective in the long run.

Bulk Supply vs On-site Generation
Beyond the highly variable cost of laboratory gas, there are a number of hidden costs associated
with cylinders or dewars, which are not only economic, but also impact on laboratory work flow.

Added costs

Logistics & safety

Losses & wastage

• Cylinder or dewar rental &
supply delivery charges;

• Frequent hazardous truck
deliveries to facility

• Unpredictable supply timescales

• Bulk liquid storage planning
permission, installation, rental &
upkeep;

• High pressure storage, with risk of
explosive decompression or leaks

• Multi-year purchase contract
commitments, with long notice
periods.

• Cylinders & dewars require heavy
manual handling

• Bulk supply needs frequent
switching & monitoring
• 10% gas returned to supplier &
20% lost to ‘off-gassing’
• Downtime = lost revenue.

Why buy bulk nitrogen gas when you can make your own?

Convenience
Gas on-demand, no cylinders
to change or supply stocks to
maintain

Increased safety
No need for pressurized gas
storage so safer than bulk
delivery options

Less wastage
Consistent and reliable supply
means fewer product defects
or rejections

Eliminate on-going costs
No more equipment rental,
long contracts or re-supply
ordering

More sustainable
Reduced carbon footprint
by eliminating trucking of
cylinders to your site

Future proof
Expandable on-demand N2
generation that meets future
needs

High purity nitrogen
Our CMS banks are packed using a ‘snowstorm’ filling technique, allowing for around 18% more carbon to be
compacted into the carbon bed. This ultimately prevents gas channeling and ensures i-FlowLab can deliver
consistent levels of nitrogen purity (up to 99.9995% or 5 ppm oxygen*). Furthermore, with our built-in PurityGuard™
gas monitoring & application safeguard system, along with integrated air filtration technology, we guarantee your
application gas supply is never compromised & always of the highest quality.
* Over 100 flow-rate and purities available, depending on system design requirements and commissioned specifications.

High flow-rates
i-FlowLab’s highly robust PSA system generates nitrogen
gas using simple principle methods. Compressed air is
fed into the dual pressure CMS vessels and undergoes a
cycle of compression & decompression, where oxygen is
adsorbed and nitrogen is passed downstream. This not
only delivers continuous nitrogen gas flow-rates on a large
scale (11 - 5590 l/min*), it also guards against abrasive
breakdown, preventing gas supply contamination and
ensures an expected CMS lifespan of up to 20 years.

Adaptable, future-proof design
Peak Scientific’s i-FlowLab nitrogen generation systems are designed to be a future-proof, space-saving and
sustainable solution. To accommodate the full and varying future demands of your research facility, i-FlowLab
can be scaled out retrospectively, with additional Peak CMS banks or modular units. This offers your facility the
flexibility to adapt with changing demands, instead of being limited by increasingly expensive & inconvenient
method of nitrogen gas supply.

Modular
Multiple units can be synchronized to meet demands based on application
flow-rates and purity requirements (more units = greater flow-rates at
specified purity).

95 - 99.9995% purity 11 - 5590 l/min

Scalable
Up to ten CMS column banks can be added
to each single i-FlowLab unit in less than a day,
increasing nitrogen production capacity with
minimal downtime.

Consultative design & project
management
Alongside technological innovation and expertise, Peak also provide an industry-leading, wrap around consultative
system design and project management service. Peak Scientific’s highly trained and dedicated specialists are experts at
designing turnkey solutions that perfectly meet current and future needs.

Our project teams professionally manage each step of the process, including:

Typical applications
Peak Scientific nitrogen generators are being used in laboratories across the globe to supply numerous analytical,
discovery & research instruments. Below are just some of the applications that i-FlowLab can offer a combined gas
supply solution for, whilst helping to maximize workflow efficiencies and increase productivity.

LC-MS (Multiple)
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is used within various
industries, such as Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Oil & Gas for compound
detection and mass analysis. i-FlowLab is capable of meeting the demands
of several LC-MS instruments running simultaneously, delivering high volume
nitrogen gas and helping to maximize workflow.

Glovebox
When working with hazardous substances, such as infectious diseases
or radioactive materials, gloveboxes require N2 to provide an O2-free
environment. i-FlowLab is capable of meeting the demands of multiple
instruments running side by side, ensuring a consistent nitrogen supply is
always available on-demand.

Sample Evaporators
Depending on workflow requirements, evaporators can consume a large
quantity of nitrogen when concentrating compound samples in preparation for
further analysis. i-FlowLab can easily meet the needs of multiple evaporators
running simultaneously with other gas hungry instruments in your lab.

Fume Hoods
Built-in N2 gas taps allow the supply of gas to instruments within the fume
hoods. i-FlowLab’s high flow production capabilities are ideal for ensuring a
consistent and convenient gas supply is available on tap for multiple units.

NMR Spectroscopy
With large quantities of nitrogen required during Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance spectroscopy, i-FlowLab is the perfect solution for meeting the
high volume demands of your analysis, delivering a highly cost effective
solution.
