Scott has a compressor based Genius NM32LA which eliminates the need for an external air supply. It provides a steady stream of nitrogen gas at up to 32L/min and is compatible with most LC-MS instruments. Peak has sold thousands of NM32LAs around the world and in the United States providing labs with a safer and more efficient nitrogen gas supply.
By buying a Peak generator, Scott eliminated the need for cylinder changes and worrying about whether his gas supply would run out. Scott is also pleased with Peak’s well thought out and professional service.
