Kerry, a global leader in taste and nutrition, has streamlined its GC analysis processes by implementing a solution involving Peak Scientific hydrogen generators and Merck's deionized water systems.
"Our GC instruments are essential tools for ensuring the quality and consistency of our flavorings and raw materials," said Chris Sherwin, Quality Assurance Coordinator at Kerry Foods. "Previously, we relied on compressed gas cylinders, which often led to logistical challenges and disruptions in our workflow."
To address these issues, Kerry turned to Peak Scientific hydrogen generators. These devices generate high-purity hydrogen gas on-site, eliminating the need for gas cylinders and ensuring a continuous and reliable supply.
"The key to optimal performance of our Peak generators is the quality of the water used," explained Sherwin. "Deionized water is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the generator's PEM cell."
To guarantee a consistent supply of high-quality deionized water, Kerry partnered with Merck. Their Milli Q system provides reliable and pure water directly from the tap, simplifying the water supply process.
"We were referred to Merck by Peak Scientific when purchasing our generators," said Sherwin. "Merck's excellent sales representative and the ease of use of their system, coupled with the recommendation from Peak Scientific, made it a clear choice for our DI water needs."
By combining Peak Scientific's hydrogen generators and Merck's deionized water systems, Kerry Foods has achieved several benefits:
- Uninterrupted Gas Supply: No more reliance on gas cylinders, eliminating potential disruptions.
- Increased Efficiency: Streamlined workflows and reduced time spent on gas management.
- Cost Savings: Reduced expenses associated with gas cylinder purchases and maintenance.
"The entire process of acquiring Peak generators was smooth and efficient," said Sherwin. "The Peak team provided excellent service, from initial inquiry to installation."
Kerry is highly satisfied with their decision to adopt PEAK Scientific and Merck solutions. They recommend these technologies to other laboratories seeking to optimize their GC analysis workflows.
