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 WATE RS

Waters is a global manufacturer and distributor of mass
spectrometers and analytical instrumentation headquartered in
Milford, Massachusetts. Waters and Peak Scientific have been
working in conjunction since the production of the NM30LA
generator in 1997, the predecessor to our best-selling NM32LA
generator.
This was the first example of a Peak Scientific nitrogen generator
being formally approved specifically for use with a mass
spectrometer, underlining the unique relationship between Peak
and Waters. Since then, Peak has produced several dedicated gas
generator solutions for Waters applications including the Genius
NM32LA, Genius XE 35 and Solaris XE.
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 Waters’ range of LC-MS
instruments. In most cases, there is a dedicated Peak Scientific
gas generator for Waters’ range of LC-MS instruments. Peak
have engineered purpose built generators, matching the most
efficient operating standards of Waters’ LC-MS, AP-GC and
ELSD instruments.

Our core gas generator offering to support Waters analytical
instruments can be divided into two categories. Our bestselling Genius XE and value Genius SQ series, designed mainly
for LC-MS applications, are self-contained systems featuring
integrated compressors, delivering laboratory-grade nitrogen
at various pressures and flow rates required by a wide variety of
Waters instruments.
The Infinity XE 60 & Solaris series of nitrogen gas generators
are silent-running compressor-free systems for laboratories
with an in-house supply of clean, dry air - delivering nitrogen
in a wide range of flow rates including high-flow for more gas
hungry applications such as sample evaporation or supplying
multiple mass-spec instruments.
For very high-flow, high demand needs, our innovative Pressure
Swing Adsorption based i-FlowLab technology is designed to
meet the full and total demand for nitrogen gas a facility may
have, all in one expandable installed solution

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.
