Introduction
The NG range of ultra high purity nitrogen generators have been designed primarily for
GC applications and other applications requiring the highest purity nitrogen.
These models provide a source of Nitrogen gas with other features including:
• Available with or without an external compressor
• Contains self-regenerating Carbon Molecular Sieve purification
• The most convenient method of laboratory gas supply
• Gas is supplied on demand so generator works to your schedule
• Remove the hassle and safety concerns with ordering and replacing pressurized
cylinder gas
• 12 month comprehensive on-site warranty
Delivering flow rates of 3000cc/min or 5000cc/min, these generators come in two
variants, the standard model and the enhanced (A) models which feature an integrated
compressor, removing the need for an external air supply to be present in the lab.
To reach their ultra high purity nitrogen output these generators use Pressure Swing
Adsorption and Carbon Molecular Sieve. These separation technologies remove oxygen
and other impurities in air, delivering hassle-free, ultra high purity nitrogen, on-demand
for the lab.
