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

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.

P E AK P E R FO R M E RS: O U R WO R LD - CL A S S P RO D U C T P L ATFO R M S

Four distinct product series define our core offering to supply
Thermo Fisher Scientific analytical laboratory instruments.
Our best-selling 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 1010A 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.

detector gas. One generator is capable of supplying multiple detectors and GC or
GC-MS units.

Features
•

99.9995% purity (standard) / 99.9999%
purity (trace model)

•

Suitable for GC detector gas (all) and
carrier gas (trace model only)

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.
