Our story

P E AK AN D S H I MADZU

Shimadzu is a global manufacturer and distributor of mass
spectrometers and analytical tools headquartered in Kyoto,
Japan. Shimadzu and Peak Scientific have been working in
conjunction since 2009, when a gas solution for the LCMS-8050
was in development, culminating in the launch of the Genius
1051 and Genius 1061. Since then, Peak has produced several gas
generation solutions for Shimadzu applications including the
Genius 3051. Peak have also specifically designed the Precision
Nitrogen Headspace for the Shimadzu HS-10 and HS-20.

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 Shimadzu’s range of LC-MS, GC and TOC
instruments. There is a Peak Scientific gas generator for the
Shimadzu LC-MS, GC or TOC instrument you may have. Peak
have engineered purposely built generators, meeting the most
efficient operating standards of Shimadzu’s TOC, GC, Headspace
Autosampler and 8030, 8040, 8045, 8050, 8060 & 9030 LC-MS
instruments.

Note:
* The Genius 1051, 1061 is the recommended Peak solution for both the 8045, 8050 and 8060, and will provide sufficient gas flow when the
8045/8050/8060 is operating in ‘Default Gas Delivery Mode’.
When operating in ‘High Flow Gas Delivery Mode’, the gas flow requirement is increased, which may exceed the capabilities of the Genius 1051, in
this instance the Genius 3051 is the recommended solution.
NB: The Genius 1061 has been designed specifically for use within the japanese market.

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.
